Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

    Honestly, if you mean Facebook then I salute you for having the patience. If I had to correct the moronic comments I see whenever I use that platform I’d explode. It genuinely made me loose faith in democracy as a system. I honestly don’t think half of these people should have a vote.

      Speaking of Facebook, I’ve been seeing comments there from people who are seemingly completely unaware or in denial of the crimes Trump has committed. Whenever there’s a post about how he ought to be removed from office and/or arrested, these people go “on what grounds?” “Name one crime he’s committed. I’ll wait”. Like, I don’t get the vive they’re sincerely asking, I get the vibe it’s a rhetorical challenge. They think it’s a gotcha. They legitimately don’t think people have an answer fir what Trump has done that should warrant removal from office

        Fair play. Instagram I use for reals and that’s it. Pure dopamine idiocy. Basically addicted. X I avoid - I didn’t even enjoy it as twitter, but now it’s just vile. I think Lemmy is the only platform where I actually read and comment tbh. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not. One thing’s for sure, I should definitely get back into reading books
