Because I’ve talked to people who say things like that and it just makes me lose my faith in humanity a little yea

But I have to remind myself that this tagline is some western Marxist (or maybe socdem?) verbal diarrhea and isn’t common among the people who matter

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?
