Agreed. Traditional social media is inherently toxic. This is better. I fear it’s a matter of time though. As the userbase grows, I don’t know if healthy relays can be created as quickly as unhealthy people toxify existing relays.
I know the debate is as old as time, but I fall more on the side of mankind being inherently evil. So, I see most of the depravity on social media as a symptom of humanity as opposed to social media causing today’s societal problems.
As an example, places like prawnhub have great accessibility but if I want to find a pdf repository and download a technical manual for my tractor it’s like pulling teeth. People’s penchant for the absurd and destructive always outpaces the healthy.
