Twitter has been the toxic zone. Other platforms do things to segregate people to reduce the visible hate. Reddit lets amateur mods run roughshod and make single-viewpoint subs. Facebook is heavily moderated externally. Discord has different servers. So kind of like reddit.

Twitter, at least originally before communities, had no zones. What you view is completely based on either getting an external link or the algo, which takes into account follows. In fact, the feed is basically there to piss you off. It wakes me up in the morning sometimes.

Oh yeah and then Mr Musk gets pushed to the top of everyone's feed, and he stirs controversy. He's getting paid for mouthing off. Almost nothing he says can be "bad". At worst boring. If he posts something wrong just to have people come in and reply "you're a retard" he makes money. Imagine if someone got paid for replies here.

tl;dr I agree with you

/Twitter blocked me from accidentally logging in without a VPN. What nice guys.
