In a way, Zuckerberg predicted your take years ago. He saw the writing on the wall regarding the many issues of having an enormous public town square and the "share everything" mindset, and opted for more pocketed communities. If we're being honest here, the center of gravity regarding dopamine is Twitter. I spotted a fascinating effect regarding people "threatening" to leave Twitter as they're tired of all the rage. Most of course never even attempt to leave, but those that do may give Mastodon a try. At Mastodon, they create a fresh little sub community and move over their Twitter bubble the best they can. Now things get interesting. Crickets. As it turns out, the only thing that held the bubble together is a common enemy. There is no enemy in the new bubble that only has friends. Worse, not even the friends turn out to be friends. None give a single fuck about the other, and would be absolutely fine not ever hearing a single word from you ever again. They were just liking your opinion against another opinion to which they also disagreed. That was all. For the true hardcore Twitter addict, their entire existence and identity is effectively wiped out when you take away the rage. Hates gave them status, and being happy is the worst thing that can happen to them.
