I think you probably need some professional help, and also I think the way you look at social media is very different from how others look at social media.

Reddit isn’t Wikipedia or any type of online encyclopedia. It’s social media. It’s Twitter, it’s Facebook, it’s TikTok, etc

I hate that “touch grass” is a common insult for something more people should be doing, which to go out into the world and get a technical detox.

I hope the author does step away. I’m concerned for their mental health.

Thanks for your concern. I’m sure comments like yours will be very helpful for people with poor mental health.

You perhaps might want to take an introspective look at yourself because myself and others have seen a fair number of red flags.

Thanks! You and others have made some very insightful comments! The majority of comments and votes in this thread are clearly “organic from intelligent people who fled reddit because it was trash”.

I’m glad there are none from people with a clear agenda who asked GPT chat “how can I insult someone and attack them with ad hominems without breaking lemmy.world’s rules?”.

More and more I’m thinking that social media is just screwed. There is no viable alternative to the old reddit in sight. It’s all bots, special interest groups fighting for influence, and low-intelligence people sucking up mindless fluff content and regurgitating garbage.

I just hope you know people are actually downvoting you for being toxic, not because they’re bots or part of some greater conspiracy.

You’re just giving off big “I’m 17, always told I was gifted, and need to whine online whenever people don’t bow before my awe-inspiring intellect.” vibes.

You might be trolling, but if you’re not, you’re on a dangerous path to extreme loneliness, despair, inadequacy, and blaming everyone else for all your issues.
