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.

OP screaming at the top of their lungs: "Why are you kids so socially inept?!"

If we can verb nouns, we can noun adjectives!

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.

Nah, most of these nerds are just unhealthy online

The way you interface with strangers on the web is also something that could use a modicum of effort.

Be what you want the web to look like.

user generated toxicity, nerdy shit, and thigh pics are all good parts of the internet.

No, it's just over sampling on the Internet.

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