The experience you have on social media, and to an even higher order of magnitude on fedi, is in very different bubbles. The feed you see is very different than others.
You may see a feed that has a lot of writing for one community, then some anti-social behavior happens in that space and it gets amplified and fills your timeline. Meanwhile, another TL on here will see other anti-social behavior and it gets amplified and fills that other space.
We don't often have "main characters" on here, and instead there are these clusters of activities in various micro-communities.
I honestly feel like it warps perception, a lot.
