Exactly my thoughts. Back in the day when I joined the Instagram in the first month of launch there were only professional photographers posting some great stuff, it was fun until celebs and general public started using it.
If the response from The City of San Diego to Tom Cruise visiting is any indication, they seem to be allergic to people experiencing homelessness. Invite more people experiencing homelessness to keep them out?
That’s how social media was invented. I remember when computers were things that only geeks and nerds were into. And then Neverending September happened, and suddenly normies were everywhere on the internet. We create something new to congregate, and they just invite themselves in after we make it popular. MySpace, Facebook, Reddit…even IRC and Geocities were taken over by them. We eventually took back Usenet at least, but only because it stopped being free for most people.
Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?

Those darn celebrities, always ruining people’s fun on social media.
I wonder when one of them is going to show up on Lemmy…
!usernamechecksout@lemmy.zip I hope you are not the real one ;-)
Of course I am.
Would esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress (and producer) Margot Robbie ever lie to you on the internet?
Some would say that acting is the grandest lie.
So normies are the original enshittifiers, then corporations come in. I knew it, I should have stayed a shut-in.
“Eternal September”
That’s how pixelfed is right now (Fediverse Instagram replacement)
Oh, so it’s celebs. How to keep 'em out?

In a nutshell, this is the perfect social media for me!

I use usenet for media only. Are there still communities active via usenet?
