I don't get the rush or the need.

Everything trickles down here anyway. If you're ONLY on Lemmy and Mastodon, you're still getting way more actual news than the average joe. Popular, shmopular.

I'm trying to remember a time in the last thirty years where something becoming popular made it better. It's usually the opposite.
