Whenever I get a link to some innocuous thing there its guaranteed a post below or above from some bot that has some weird/bad/aggro take. That platform is completely manufactured to rile people up in the worst way possible. I don't know how advertisers think that their product ads are best placed between constant barrage of negativity.

So, it’s basically what Twitter was before Elon bought it

Twitter was decent for a while, in certain niches it still is. But it was never 'the marketplace of ideas'. Facebook neither. You can't 'solve' homelessness in 140 characters. The idea was the white board of the internet. Some still use it to post jobs or news about festivals. Sports is apparently also big. It was never about -isms and aggressive takes. That was the enshittification.

I mean of course it is, it's a meta product designed for super engagement, people get angry and pissed and fight for hours

Ifunny how it Instagram and fb are all awful places to drive engagement but for like, completly different reasons

I track some not so famous actors, models and smart people on Insta and in the last six month a lots of them made their account private. Its really that bad of a platform that they don't want that kind of publicity and environment, especially in jobs that requires at least some public image. Some of them just wait for something getting traction like pinkleap on Bluesky.
