the very worst thing about social media is the inability to recognise anything between two extremes either "change through poasting" or "everything is pointless why bother" and nothing in between

I’ve always felt the worst thing is the way it has enabled zillions of people who used to be de facto isolated and contained because of their abhorrent views/bonkers conspiracy theories to find & connect with one another and do start doing real damage.

Yeah. It has historically incentivised people going for the most extreme opinions, thus making sure the worst, loudest voices are the ones most heard.

I personally think the root cause for this is that people take themselves (or themself?) much too serious. They think posting is a declaration or a postulation of will. Neither is true. Posting is most of the time just: a) shitposting b) their own echo chamber amplification c) venting d) shitposting
