I honestly don’t get how so any people feel they have a leg in this race.
Personally haven’t been on any of the major platforms for years, but as an outsider looking in, I blame social media. It openly encourages this kind of mob behavior and amplifes the most insane voices with reckless abandon.
Absolutely agree, I got off all social media except Reddit and then Lemmy when I realized how it was being used and the enshittification of course.
I got her on reddit too years ago and that was better, but then the apipocalypse got us both off the platform and I went to Lemmy and she went to Insta. :/
She’s gotten noticably more anti-men since too, I get it men fucking suck but she’s like straight up getting to a misandric level.
Not to mention buying more beauty products from watching makeup tutorials and shit so frequently.
Was in a similar situation with an Ex, she got super into insta, which on its own was fine but it was difficult to deal with how worked up she’d get for what seemed just so mundane to me. There was some new random cause or social issue every other day and every issue was black and white, just 2 sides, no expectations.
It reminded me when I was a teen on FB in the early years where everyone seemed to be some form of slack-tavist. People seriously underestimate how much these apps and algorithms can effect others.
