MODERATORS
Whether you like it or not, its censorship. Ppl with opposite political views silencing eachother creating echo chambers of only ppl who align with them politically.
Things are too strict now, every one has a mega phone and wants to shout at eachother and their opinion. The internet has become one big political pile of shit, most actually chill ppl, avoid it as a source of escapism.
Barrier to entry. Not enough laid back open minded ppl. So now, everyone's separated and closed off. Ppl just want control
It's not about connection and getting information, it's all about pushing some fucking agenda.
has majorly spilled over into real life as well. way too many anxious control freaks these days, not enough chill people who are willing to listen and learn.
