Right, but the algorithms that other social media sites use are designed to drive engagement, NOT to help you find things you like.
They want you angry and/or scared and/or jealous so you post, rage argue.
I know it may feel worse, but less content, less clickbait is better for us and our mental health.
I didn’t even realise how much raging I was doing on reddit. And for what? To argue with right wing dipshits or bots or trolls, so reddit’s numbers can go up and they can sell more ads.
Fuck algorithms and fuck rage bait.
By people, you mean the Republican voter. We Democrats can’t put pressure on our candidates about these issues because losing means a batshit insane right wing / nazi / Christian nationalist wins…
So we have to pick and chose our battles. I’ve got bigger issues than multi millionaires being allowed to trade stocks.
Afghanistan was such a sad fuckup.
W invades them for Bin Laden, if we had put all our focus on the country maaaybe it would be better today… But of course W had to go oil hunting in Iraq splitting our resources.
Obama did nothing productive except drone people to death and allow warlords to take parts of the country because everyone was sick of losing soldiers for that hunk of land.
Trump comes in and of course knows nothing about nothing and orders a hasty withdrawal, that is then poorly executed by Biden.
Add to all of that, that the Afghan people simply do not feel a kinship to each other and democratic instincts do not exist due to the heavy influence of Islam, which retards the minds of already poorly educated people.
It all sucks from top to bottom and I feel awful for the women and children there that have to live now in that Islamofascist shithole.
Any platform you find corporate asshole lickers. They are the worst.
