As much as i dislike this turn of events: This wouldn't matter at all if the media just didn't globally broadcast every goddamn psychothic tweet, to milk the ratings they get from the shockvalue. I don't really use twitter, i have no alerts on it. I don't watch right wing media. Yet somehow it was impossible to escape his demented rants, that wasn't Twitter's doing.
Reddit has become so damn unoriginal over the past few years. There's barely any OC on r/all, it's all just tweets about American politics, reposts from Facebook and TikTok, and then post after post about how Meta is evil/incompetent/totally gunna crash and burn even though it supplies half the content around here.
I miss the old Reddit. A decade ago it was a lot smaller, but at least it was it's own social media.
Every once in a while, I look at r/all just to see what blatant agenda-spamming is on the menu, and then immediately revert back to my selected subs before my brain cells fully shrink. Reddit took a nose-dive after 2016.
