    A variation of Carl Reiner’s joke: How do you make God laugh?

    Tell her your plan.

    Reminder that anyone posting an smbc comic without the votey panel hates you (yes, you) personally, very passionately.

        I think the people who are genuinely made unhappy by it just don’t really understand it. My friend told me once that she avoids it cause she sees everyone having a better life than her and gets depressed, but people just put good stuff on social media cause you don’t want to be a bummer. It’s just like going out for drinks, you don’t sit down and go “I’ve really been struggling with stomach pain this week, my doctor is doing scans”, no, too much, and that’s what a facebook status is, just an opening statement read by potentially hundreds, so it’s a light statement, a joke, something to share, that sort of thing.

          I get depressed by the general bad news that are standard now and the toxic people who get a much louder voice and platform than they should and the shock how stupid people can be.

            That’s a moderation problem, the joy of social media is that you can follow who you like so no toxic people should be on there.

              Here in the fediverse I feel safe, but if I go on twitter, reddit or even once a year on Facebook I regret it every time. I mean even the comments on some articles are cancer and those are moderated because without it would be even worse

                Sorry, I don’t mean moderation by mods, I mean moderation by you, the things you choose to follow will change your experience, you can even block specific pages that bring in those comments.

                It takes some time to cultivate your experience and learn the voices you want there but once you’ve done it you’ll find the whole thing more positive.

                  Well then I am in my safe bubble and don’t know what’s happening outside. We are already too convinced that our view is the only possible. This will complicate social interaction in the real world.
