aevai love that thing that mastodon has where i don't see the hot take a bunch of people i follow are mad at, because there isn't anything artificially drawing attention to rage bait to get us to look at ads or inflate stock prices or astroturf political campaigns or growth hacking or whatever other reasons for corporate engagement farming
Mark T. Tomczak@aeva Seriously. "Oh, hm, that's the third mention of that I've seen today. I could probably chase that thread. Or not! Instead of getting rage-baited, there are, like, thirty hot bishi anime men on my timeline today from that one artist I follow. That's a much better use of my doom-scrolling."
