Yeah no shit.
I wanted to view an account. Do to that you need to make an account yourself. So I made one, solely to look at this one account.
I was dragged through this long set up process where I said I was into trains and technology. What was the first thing they served me after making an account?
A tweet celebrating the death of a black 14 year old murdered in London by a white guy with a Samurai sword alongside a load of right wing tweets.
Same with reddit. Needed to comment on something: said "I like Trains and Linux". What did they give me? Ragebait from various UK subs.
I hate the outrage economy and it's why I love Lemmy and Mastodon.
Elon has molded Twitter into his own image. If you're on it, you're endorsing him.
thankfully I shut down that account. Fuck that shit.
I seen a bunch of misogynistic posts on Facebook targeting the England womens' team and women's football in general since the Euros. And the constant "🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣" captions when the "humour" is about as funny as herpes. Pure ragebait/engagement farming.
Mainstream social media platforms have reached a level of toxicity and hate that makes them completely unbearable to use, the content is just bottom of the barrel shite.
I am very interested in politics, but not on any kind of social media. The whole purpose of political discourse on sites like Twitter is to foster uninformed, extremist political posturing with no constructive or interesting discussion.
