I don't understand this mentality at all
Looking at exhausting, low-effort political bait on a daily basis doesn't cure internet addiction or build character; real exposure therapy is a controlled, intentional psychological process designed to reduce irrational fear or anxiety, not slowly desensitize users to toxicity and degrade the overall culture of the platform by acting as a glorified advertisement broad for lemmy fascists
It's like saying, "Yeah, the local park is covered in broken glass and trash now, but look at it as agility training! Confront your fear! And watch where you step; it's great for your reflexes." Meanwhile, I'm over here wondering why the hell is the park covered in trash and glass in the first place
Insider humor, community history, and shared joy, gone for the sake of toxic therapy lessons? How is this argument not an admission that the platform's vibe is dead?
