This is so true.
I read online and see how panicked and angry people are at us in the states. It breaks my heart. But I just read and listen instead of respond lately.
I notice how much our apps are made to make us angry or sad. All to prey on people to buy things to make them feel better.
But when I hang out with my family who all voted Kamala or friends, or just being kind to strangers in real life -- Its just a whole new vibe of hope that we will get through this.
Im trying more and more to get outside my bubble and be more social. It feels like a great way to protest tech oligarchs.
OP isn't wrong, it's the reason I came off social media years ago & I've been so happy since
Browsing social media gave this false illusion that people were constantly out having the time of their lives, every single day.
I just constantly felt like I had to try and do the same, that my life was boring and miserable. The reality is that I was doing and having more fun than most people based on conversation, social media was just painting a very false picture of people's day to day lives.
Lol, that has nothing to do with the constant psyops run on it. Those have been present since well before the sale. The site allows anyone to post anonymously. It's the perfect grounds for manufacturing the appearance of consensus.
Really? The 'they' I was referring to was the 4chan mouth breathers demanding their submissive waifish perfect 10s with PhDs, not red or green op text. But hey, I guess we're not that different from the 4chan (or reddit) userbase, huh?
