    has it become popular to be a complete social inept? i’ve never seen so many kids that can’t handle basic human interaction as i have in the last 5 years. WTF?

      Why are you seeing so many kids for the last 5 years? Do you have a representative sample size?

      I feel like getting a feel for how people in society actually act from memes is a dangerous game. I think the point of them is to push passed hyperbole so that people laugh at it, and then share it with friends.

      Also, inept isn’t a noun.

      The terminally online are 90% of Lemmy’s content machine.

      I get curated stuff for free so I’m happy those people exist but yeah don’t take their worldview as the norm.

      I think that people are more willing to talk about it now, because mental illness is less stigmatized than it used to be.
