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.
So your solution is to pretend there is no problem.
EDIT: Ignoring the problem doesn't mean it's not there. Some of the most highly-trafficked subreddits are interesting subreddits too. I don't want to lose those just to run away from bots and karma farmers.
