Social media post mortem

So I went through my Facebook and noticed a lot of stale. Like a lot. Various fan and meme pages that haven't posted anything in years, years I'm telling you. Pruned, unliked and unfollowed. It wasn't just liked pages, these dated back from when people became fans. I never thought I used social media to such an extent, but I suppose after fifteen years it adds up.

I looked it up. That really does seem like a long time.

But it wasn't the dead meme pages that caught my attention. It was the dead people. I suppose the number of people that I know that stopped living over that time frame isn't any higher than average, but as with the meme pages, it adds up.

What's the past-tense of doomscrolling?
