I also get the feeling that when I spend time on Musk's twitter, I behave worse and worse myself. You are constantly confronted with awfulness, and get dragged into behaving awfully yourself in response. Or at least I am too weak willed to resist it.

It’s basically turned into what I imagine Truth Social to be. Just a right wing hell hole.
Reddit is wholesome!
It's worse than Craig's list at the time, only standards have dropped so much lately that ppl think it's normal & government officials still sponsor it. There's nothing but hate in it, even the quiet corners feel the ripples of acid
That's the goal of 'flood the zone with shit'. Make people angry, hopeless and apathic, destroy decent communication.

You are what you eat and who you talk to.

Hier ist es doch viel schöner :D
I'm fine with engaging with awful talking points, but not all the time, not constantly.
It's not necessarily that you're weak willed, rather it's when constantly surrounded by this awfulness, sometimes our reactions to it are awful, regardless of whether we're trying to avoid it or react to it, it promotes mental degradation.
It's not personally healthy, but it's also inevitable. Some people really need to be told they are more than just wrong.
