i 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
@aeva it's fun to show up clueless to the party and ask what everyone is mad about. People get shouty, and then you can say "you ok?" and otherwise carry on a normal conversation. Breaks the whole mood.
