I get what you mean, but over time I found the desire for validation meant I was more likely to think about the reactions before I commented, and it was shaping what I said and posted.
At the moment I’m modding a super tiny community and I’m posting news content that I know will never be that popular with the majority of federati.
But it’s more fulfilling than guessing what people will like and posting or commenting that.
I’ve managed to steer clear of a lot of it. As a non American, it feels much easier here to not have to wade through a whole lot of comments of people arguing about American politics.
Reddit sort of pathologically turns unrelated discussions into that, probably because of all the shills and bad actors they have creeping about the place.
