Am I on the same internet? If social media taught people one thing, it is to rock the boat as hard as possible, because only this gives them attention. Twitter is called the hellsite for a reason.

What is it that you want? Intelligent discussion, but not too strange, but interesting, not too toxic, but you wanna say what you think and you feel like you can't say what you think, because then "the others" come with their toxic bullshit?!




The flamewars on social media are fundamentally outraging and shocking, but I don't find them any strange. Maybe my usage of "rocking the boat" was a bit inappropriate, I apologise. I definitely didn't want to say I don't want "too strange" stuff.

It's just that the topics people talk about are very narrow, and even on the most heated twitter thread it's mostly the same stuff. There is nothing novel in there.:(
