Fwiw I find social media scores corny

Just stokes addiction to a false sense of empowerment and social contribution

Downvote away to hide from ideas and opinions you don't like.

Conservative people are the only people so dysregulated by ideas they don't understand or that do not validate prior experience and embedded biases they just try to hide them from view. Not the kind of people whose judgment I concern myself with in any meaningful way

yeah keep chatting with the sycophantic psychosis-inducing LLM chatbot, I think you'll have a better time.
