>>105131117yeah i agree. there's a genuine level of nastiness and hatred on twitter and reddit (twitter being worse imo, especially under elon) that imageboards don't really have. there's a lot of edgelord shit here but it's mostly just that, it's just jokes, nobody really takes it seriously. the guy calling me a faggot on 4chan is usually just a fellow edgelord autist who isn't actually homophobic irl, and not someone's crazy uncle who got radicalized by algorithms and ragebait slop or whatever.
>like even mild disagreements just result in passive aggressive seething posts instead of real posts challenging the oppossing viewpointtwitter in particular is insufferable for this alone. why respond to someone in good faith and potentially change their views when you can just insult them and get thousands of likes for it instead (and likely reinforce that person's views)? i hate that "dunking" and "ratio" culture so much.
