I hate to be the one to say it, but...this is why we can't have nice things.

At a certain scale, social media tilts humanity in one direction. We can't seem to escape the trajectory of our very nature; it will outcompete any complex system we devise to outwit it.

Maybe its just a filtering problem. I wished musk would have thought about creating semi-permeable bubbles for every milieu, when he bought twitter, where you can switch between feel-good and controversy filters as you wish. Hard lock outs / bans only lead to more polarization.

He kind of did this by making it so you can see the posts of people who block you. Of course, he did this because he's so annoying everyone blocked him.

You seem to have missed that Musk nurturing a cult of mentally ill edgelords is a feature, not a bug. Why would he ever want to shield his users from the made-up ragebait that so successfully radicalized so many of them into joining MAGA?
