Yeah but nah. There was toxicity but it wasn't promoted. You wouldn't see a several pages of assholes who paid to stir up shit before a single actually interesting response in every single thread. It didn't used to be like this
People overstate how bad social media they don't use is. Twitter was usable and even fun depending on who you followed. Now it's just bulshit everywhere.
I agree, it was definitely there, but wasn't promoted. Now, when I go there, I'll get notifications that someone posted.... Someone I don't follow and the post is hate filled garbage. In my notifications of all places.
The front page isn't people I follow anymore, that's in a different tab under Following. It's not the default tab.
