I am so glad to be seeing this. I have been trying to tell people this for ages. On Meta platforms like Threads, rage bait is the main thing that goes viral. It's psychologically damaging to immerse yourself in it. You have to take efforts to disengage with it, including off-app lifestyle changes.
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
