Of course Lemmy and such inherit some of that design even without the money behind it - there’s certainly a little dopamine hit when I see that one of my comments has gotten a reply, or when I check and see that it’s been upvoted.
Not having the incentive to enshittify is good though.
Hell nah. I don’t give a damn about your up votes, down votes, replies. Hell I don’t even look at my inbox and I’ll be damned if I will end up back in this thread.
I’m just here for the occasional meme and maybe get a bit of news, and I’m all out of good news.
What if, instead of having to doomscroll to get that sweet, sweet dopamine hit, you’d just occasionally, and randomly be sent a message with a funny meme, or interesting story, or whatever it takes to convince your brain to hook you up?

Here… you can have a little dopamine… as a treat.
I got you both. Enjoy.
Oh, shit… I accidentally got two hits! And all I did was read what others commented.
I’m gonna try boofing mine. I’ll let you all know how it goes!
Well?
Take a hit on me friend
Thanks, you too!
lucky you, i am just filled with dread

Ok then.

That’s basically newsletters, forum digests, podcasts, etc.
I upvote the same way like I used to on Reddit, but I have no idea what the hell my karma is
I don’t even think it matters but it’s nice to see a post with like 800 upvotes
We’ve been bamboozled and conditioned
Sorry, here’s your dopamine 🔼
