Lemmy

Except it’s not their fault. At least, not entirely. Every single fucking centralized social platform tweaks its content algorithm to drive engagement, and they found that the best way was to piss you off. They shove it in your face until you can’t help but say something to fight the unending flow of utter bullshit.
Sounds like a lack of emotional maturity.
More like an intense study of how best to exploit human nature for financial gain.
I was doing the thing you were talking about…
…being fed a manipulative stream of content to piss you off?

Yes!

Ultimately it becomes troll v troll until either trolls out leaving each troll believing they’ve out-trolled the troll.

Alot of these places are just a spot were bots and racists can argue with each other. If only it were a capsule that we could shoot into the sun.
