I don't mind hearing opposing viewpoints, but when people start with or devolve into rage-baiting each other, I can't take any of it seriously anymore.

I'm fatigued by it. Sorting through it on X to find better stuff to respond to is also fatiguing because of the current state of their algorithm.

Besides my current mute list on X, I'm now considering muting all things political and related to all types of rage bait, even at the expense of not getting the news. That's how bad it's gotten on social media.

People need to relearn how to have discussions and civilly argue again.

Many young people need to see what that looks like, modeled in real-time, to see how it works.
