Yes, it kind of is hypocritical to ask this on a social media platform, but what do you guys get out of it?
I’ve been shitposting and talking to other anonymous people online since 1999.
UBB anime boards
Somethingawful
4chan
Reddit
and now, I dance the babushka, for you!
And now, I find myself home to Lemmy. Just one of the thousands of Anons posting opinion, then meme, then opinion, then shitpost in the background static of the greater internet hive mind.
Arguments, rebukes, comments, discussions… discourse. It’s all necessary to me. I have to get in the fray. I have to cause the fray, in some instances. Discussion is life, passion in many instances. People care about what they care about and I both want to know why and tell why.
The first word in social media is “social”. People typically post on social media because they want to socialize in one way or another.
Exactly. It’s the same as the answer to the question, “Why do you talk to people?”
Many reasons. Searching for opinions and perspectives like you seem to be here. Searching for information and recommendations to resources. Sharing interesting things with friends and family.
