Eniko (moved ➡ gamedev.place)The best part for me of being on mastodon as opposed to other social media platforms is that here I don't get fascist thoughts injected straight into my eyeballs dozens of times a day. That's really what made me stick around initially, that I could have social media without feeling angry all the time
Aviva Gary@eniko word... what I don't get is why they monetized the feeling angry bit... are they just that angry? 🤔
D2@Aviva_Gary @eniko there's also the issue of rabbit holes which are completely gone here.
If I go down one, it's my own choice. I feel like when I talk to my brother who is a heavy TikTok user, he's being pushed so far down them that he doesn't even recognize it.
Dixzy@Aviva_Gary @eniko bc they found it lead to *increased engagement* when people were pissed. So the evil fuckers decided to make us angry to get clicks and $ damn the consequences
