I think it’s a pretty basic/uninteresting relation; for a subset of users, being inflamed causes them to be uncomfortable which causes them to post about being uncomfortable, probably sometimes talking about inflammation itself (for a super meta example, see posts in this thread).
- lazide 3y agoOr being uncomfortable causes them to want to seek comfort (social?), but lacking adaptive outlets they instead do maladaptive ones like social media. Like gambling to thrill seek because of stress from overdue bills.
- captainbland 3y agoimo: inflammatory conditions often lead to fatigue and discomfort which makes physical activities less appealing and sedentary activities more appealing. Social media is already very accessible and highly 'rewarding' so the incentive to use it is very strong. (super meta: I am tired and uncomfortable and am spending stupid amounts of time reading reddit/HN)
