@lizzard @noondlyt in a sense its a bit of a puzzle that digital social media are such a crude, asocial and thus exhausting experience: Being social animals the protocols, language, games, taboos etc of engaging with each other are of huge importance. All of this nuance has somehow gone out the window, largely because of enshittification, but for anybody who's been online long enough, it is also intrinsic to the simplistic behaviors induced by platform design and limitations.
