The dopamine hit from the like/share notification no longer hits like it did in 2012.

Reminds me of drug addicts building tolerance and upping usage to get same “high”.

Probably get the same feeling again if you hit 100K or 1M interactions

Personally, haven’t cared since 2015. FB — stopped using for socials but use its marketplace for selling/buying. IG - keep an account but otherwise have stopped using it.

Still use anonymous social media like HN or reddit. Although lately stick to the fediverse — mastodon, lemmy, and matrix.

tbh I think admitting in public that you use mastodon or lemmy outs you as a fringe nut, just like using 4chan /pol/ does

Is that a problem though? You'll filter the people you want to interact with, effectively. I'd personally probably talk more to someone who goes to /pol/ than someone who goes on IG and TikTok. If you say "I use mastodon" that also creates an in-group effect, anyone else who does the same or similar are more likely to hit you up with a conversation due to that fact :)

What makes you say that?

Most of my friend groups are migrating towards mastodon. I haven't noticed any political connotations.
