i did not miss "social media as therapists" and i hate to say after a 4 year gap of it i'm far less tolerant of people using it as their "everything is awful! here's something else awful!" place and am just muting out the wazoo at this point. i know it's terrible and it's designed to be. the goal is to have constant outrage and attention. that's what sociopathic narcissists crave. your options are basically make yourself insane paying attention to every piece of minutiae designed to make you insane, lay low and recognize when the big shit you can have some control over occurs (and sadly that's not going to happen a lot), or burn down a walmart. but to see everyone lapse within 3 days to full "here's another thing! and another thing! and look at this thing! this thing sucks too! can you believe this thing! post post post post!" is really depressing for a site that's a bunch of nerds posting about moss and ducks. so yeah, i'm cleansing my feed bit by bit because honestly, i don't need to feel like a lot of you are making yourselves feel. it is a choice you're making, and i'm choosing not to do it.
