    Exactly. And everyone is so ready to argue these days, that there are no discussions, only arguments. If you tried to say “maybe we should focus on the bad things billionaires do instead of dumb tweets” in response to a musk thread, people will simply respond “take musks dick out of your mouth boot licker” and similar insults. That’s not a hypothetical, that’s a near word for word example of how these circlejerks respond to literaly anything that doesn’t line up perfectly with the hivemind.

    I’m already seeing some of that on lemmy unfortunately. I hope some communities pop up with stronger moderation against this shit or I may just be done with social media for a while.
