You may want to stay off social media if you care about mental health.
not getting the point clearly

You're trying to blame bitcoin/bitcoiners for something you've signed yourself up for by joining the world's cesspool filled with algorithms designed to keep you enraged and engaged. Clearly you're not getting the point.
reply
no no. I get how it may come off like that though (partly why I really didn't want to initially do this post). It's a talking point I have noticed recently amongst bitcoiners, and I felt as if I should give my 2 cents. And you are 100% correct, that the algo's are cancerous (clearly bad for mental health). Just thought it was worth the discussion.

You might want to check out nostr (if you haven't already). No algorithm. You just get what you want to see. Don't like someones opinion? Just unfollow them.
But I agree with your actual point. I also think a lot of bitcoiners are very toxic (and some even pride themselves with beeing toxic). No idea where that comes from.

The problem is, we choose to participate in those algorithms. Bad design is no excuse for your own decisions. Thus, by using this medium to call attention to the issues, @ncryppt is doing exactly what anyone with a concious ought to. We bitcoiners need to step up and address these problems in our community, not blame it on bad social media algorithms
