    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.

      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.
