  You going to run into the exact same types anywhere you go. You have to learn to not feed the trolls.

    What if I go nowhere? What if I just abandon this social media dopamine dispenser altogether? Then I won’t have to listen to asshats from half way around the world try to explain why genocide is okay sometimes.

      For someone who says they are leaving, you’re really dragging it out.

        I mean, why not have one last hurrah in the comments?

      You get dopamine from this?

  that's obviously your call, but if what you were expecting here is something you desire, where else are you going to get that?

  (im asking this question genuinely, I'd like to know if there are other alternatives out there.)

    No worries! I think I need to focus on actual social interaction, rather than the facade social media portrays. I like talking to people and listening to their stories, ideas, and ideals. I have a habit of stress-testing those ideals, but generally out of a desire to strengthen them by acknowledging the pitfalls they contain. I’m a social chameleon that is as fascinated my human nature as I am annoyed by it. Thing is, online interaction strips so much nuance from conversation that it takes so much extra effort to say something. It’s like talking to a brick wall sometimes.
