Oh my God you are right - I had no idea because I had an account when I lived in a poor area and it was just people organizing to help repair each other's houses, occasional lost pet alert and stuff like that, nice.

We moved to a more gentrified area and I shit you not, it was "there is a black man in the street" what the actual fuck, that's your neighbor, bitch!

Now we are in a neighborhood in the middle and I tried again, holy crap no. What a mess. Unholy mix of racist rants, political rants, religious rants, people asking for money and people complaining about their health.

All corporate-owned social media is by its very nature. They're designed to make the user angry so they stay on their platforms for longer amounts of time and therefore see more advertisements.
