This article from 2022 does a very good job of capturing the social media landscape and the condition of political discourse right now. It highlights one thing that I’ve been hearing a lot and agree with, the cruelty is the point.

    Very thoughtful article, perfectly articulates my feelings on this. Maybe Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse can help us break the cycle.

      Yeah. This cycle of advertisers infiltrating social media has to end.
