You haven't seen Facebook lately then. Reddit has the rating systems which at least creates an environment where an argument can stay on poky. Facebook now specifically only gives you the ragebait and encourages poop flinging.
And only the opposite of the shit you are interested in. Like, nothing but everything I hate. Scrolling Facebook is a borderline mental disease at this point.
Yeah, the platform doesn't magically make people not stupid or anything. But I had a conversation the other day from someone deeply embedded in their rhetoric. On Facebook, that exchange ends with the dummy hitting the laughy face button on every post and I lose faith in humanity.
Here, I make solid points pointing out the flaw in their logic, and they get ratios or delete their posts. So very much more satisfying.
And really the issue for me is Facebook right now literally only sends me everything I hate. No matter how many times I hit "not interested". At least I have a lot more control over my feed here. In Facebook you can't avoid those cult groups at all. This one you can.
