    Social media, like reddit, is just a constant rage bait machine. I spend less time on lemmy since getting away from reddit and it’s so much better for mental health.

    The constant barrage of awful shit, which btw does not represent real life! Most of us will never encounter 99% of the bullshit we see, was just awful.

    It makes us all angry, bitter and shitter people online.

    I find lemmy better so far becuase, even though there are always shit heads there’s less assholes here.

    Partly because there is less content, but also because there simply are less shitty assholes leaning left.

    Left usually means you’re more compassionate so I feel like conversations can go on longer before devolving into shittery.
