Real life dystopia has become so boring, people not directly involved intensify drama online to bring the conflict into their online lives.
An opinion piece I find quite fitting for Lemmy as well. I wonder how a “boring” just fact based rational social media would look like?
As far as I remember, there were people virtue-signaling this kind of conflict, even before the internet was a thing.
Virtue signaling and outrage are the only things that are real, and whomever has the most “wins”.
