I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.

On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.

As evidenced by the ubiquitous complaints about reposting. I was a fairly active user and I'd often see people raging about something being posted a million times when I'd never seen it before. So I guess these people not only trawl new constantly but assume everyone else does, as well.

Good news, I'm responding to this while I'm sitting outside!

I think you're going to get that once a site population reaches a certian size. It's also possible some of those are bots or troll accounts trying to "shape the narrative".

So far on Lemmy everything I've read sounds like an actual person responding versus a bot or copy paste.

Be great to see that continue.

I think the worst of it is that they might end up thinking being chronically online is normal, because everyone they interact with is. Some subs make me feel like the most sociable person in the world
