My original comment was about how that Twitter and Reddit were toxic long before they were "ruined", and that Bluesky/Mastadon/Lemmy will probably run into the same problem even without any corporate interference.
You are a child because you just saw Elon's name and had a complete conniption, and have repeatedly attempted to make the entire conversation about him as opposed to the nature of social media.
You also have the tone of a teenager who is arguing against someone obligated to listen, be polite, and attempt to get you to grow up even in the most minor of ways. You have this "fuck you I'm right" level of vitriol is designed to either piss people off or shock people into backing down. You have this prose that alternates between oddly formal and shit you'd see in a discord chat rooms. Anyone who doesn't already emphatically agree with you is just going to tune you out.
As I have stated earlier, Twitter was toxic before Elon. Reddit was arguably more toxic before it went corporate. I dont think any of these fediverse sites solve the fundamental problems that made these sites so toxic.
Your original statement was designed to conflate entirely different platforms as all toxic inherently regardless of corporate influence. This is demonstrably wrong.
Corporations have pushed these communities to become far more toxic through algorithms to push engagement thus creating the echo chambers you seem to be so concerned about.
Listen, I know it is not always easy to agree with people and I agree with most of what you say. I am just pointing out you are a little bit wrong about this one thing and that is open platforms that are not controlled by a singular entity are better and should not be lumped in with the corporate trash.
I am sorry you have a boner for Elon. That is you boo. You brought him a up so I talked about him. That is how conversations work in the real world.
Let me explain how stupid your prose of you must be a teenager which is meant to demean your fellow commenter is. You talk about being polite when you are the one being an asshole. So please spare me your shit.
You think open non-centralized platforms are no better than commercialized monetized platforms that actually create echo chambers. Your opinion is simply garbage.
