I think the larger it grows the worse it gets.

Small group to talk to family or friends? Great!

The local community? Begin noticing dbags and crazies, people nasty to each other

National or larger? Forget about it, and now it's ratfucked by bad actors, shills, foreign intel, and other ilk.

Moderation also gets worse because these large entities try to create blanket standards with such a wide variation of cultures involved.

That’s my perception too. Most social media started kinda good because there were mostly enthusiasts at first, then they descend into insanity. I feel for my mom, caught up in Facebook because most people her age is also there. It’s a mix of political trolls and ignorant people arguing over things they don’t know with all kinds of fallacies together in a sort of crowd crazy that I see nowhere else. I try to make her leave sometimes, as it is bad for her mental health, but she doesn’t listen to me and I admit it would cut her out from the only group she’s part of, which is family spread across the country.
