I really need to use mastodon more. It's always a nicer experience but twitter has a way of hooking people into it.

I mean, they literally socially engineer twitter to get people to come back, basically forming a sort of addiction to ensure people stay invested in it, even if it causes them extreme distress and anxiety. It's like a lure that plays on basic impulses and exploits those weaknesses to build a dependence on their platform.

It's why people say they hate twitter and still use it.
