In the short term you can just not log onto the outrage-o-verse. Long term solutions to the current state of affairs elude me.
- imglorp 5y agoThe problem is the outrage economy affects everyone, not just participants.
- greesil 5y agoYep! That's why it's a short term solution.
- monkeybutton 5y agoWell the outrage-o-verse is leaking into reality with wingnuts occupying the capital of my country, waving confederate and trump 2024 flags to boot.
- dgfitz 5y agoNot being on social media at all, I’m almost amused about the right wing comment. I don’t see that at all unless I read like nypost. It is a Facebook thing?
- greesil 5y agoI'm a pinko left wing commie, and so are all my friends, followers, and people I follow. You can't get a purer bubble! But, my friends post things like "you won't believe what X said on OANN the other day. OUTRAGE!" So I just log off for a week. It's a just a property of human beings plus the engagement algorithms.
