Oh. That comparison is a really good one. Never though of it that way.

As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try. in c/[email protected]

Please. Be respectful.

You know this is not true. And I believe it is also harmful responding this in a post of someone who is struggling with doom/pessimistic thinking.

You are describing the worst case scenario. This is not how optimism works.

If it is the election results that are making me feel this way. I try to be optimistic even about that. I imagine what if the party I did not vote for, manages to do the good things they promised. In USA example would it not be awesome if Trump actually manages to end some wars (in at least somehow fair way)?

A very good point! It gets to me the most when I really try to write a well structured argument. Like yours. And then someone comes and just dismisses whole point with some logical fallacy or something like that. It hurts the most since I spent a long time writing such post.

Is Facebook making a comeback? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I used Facebook just for one community that would not move elsewhere. So I had to check it once a month. But then Facebook started recommending me other interesting groups and communities I joined. In my experience Facebook 6 months ago just recommended random old memes and ads. And I was hoping enshitification would finally eat Facebook for good. (I mean tiktok like reels however still shows enshitification is their top priority)

But now I am member of groups with active and helpful people. Niche groups you will not be able to find on lemmy or even reddit.

For me to really start liking it again after 10 years into enshitification they would probably have to become really open. Like joining a fediverse and offer messenger interoperability with other apps. Probably even becomming opensource.

Is it true that facebook feed is becomming more interesting or is this just my feeling because I joined those groups that existed there probably for a long time? Is Facebook making a comeback?

I rarely feel attacked when I talk with people in person. And we all take people feelings into consideration enough so no one is trying to attack anyone.

I was not actively commenting on social media since I was 13. But when I joined Lemmy i saw the statistics only 1% of people are actively posting and commenting on social media. And since I knew I was in 99% of people who are only consuming and really wanted Lemmy to take off I tried to be more active.

But now I find myself way too often attacked and attacking. And I always judged people that are attacking others on Xitter or Facebook.
