I find that different social networks are more "conductive" for different types feelings or states. I think a lot of it has to do a person's natural negativity bias[0] but is further amplified by the given social network. Some tend towards conducting negativity towards self. Some tend to point the finger at others. I think as we better recognize and map these bizzare (and profitable) incentive structures over time we'll be able to build apps and networks that through various tricks and shortcuts more naturally conduct positivity, love, open mindedness, a desire to unite people, etc.
I suspect in that world you'll still have a lot of networks trend negative but it would be pretty cool to get to a point where there is a choice. Sort of like ad blockers.
