Social media isn't "social" anymore. It's algorithmically designed to keep you scrolling. Burnout is inevitable.

big normie social media yes, but people still have hella actual conversations on bluesky and mastodon and (i think) they use chronological fields by default

And then, tomorrow, it will be some other social media platform because someone said something wrong on one of those. Because they have to. Not because they need to.

yeah but what you're saying is unclear.

for instance, when you say because they have to, not because they need to...

"have to" and "need to" mean the same thing, so i'm left with the choice of concluding your post is just mush or asking you to rephrase what you're trying to say in a way that's intelligible.

Perhaps I should have written "because they feel they have to and not because they need to."
