I was gonna react without reading the article, because the interaction is what I use lemmy for, and what I used reddit for, the social part of social media.
Anyway, I thought the post was talking about things we like sharing with our friends, families, colleagues, and other groups of acquaintances, which was confirmed by reading the first anecdote, which is of someone talking about sharing what they cooked.
I have always preferred messaging groups for such sharing, so to me it's not too much of a shock, but I have noticed what the article claims and have enjoyed being able to withdraw from most vapid forms of social media without disconnecting from friends entirely.
