Stop giving Musk and Zuckerberg and whoever owns Reddit your content and your brain. They are monetizing you and they are actively making the world worse.

Social Media - the for profit versions - have shredded peoples minds with their addictive algorithms intended, successfully, to keep your attention on their screens.

Musk is a fascist and he has turned twitter into a fascist platform. Get off of it. Just say no.
