Why do I find social media exhausting? Me: *Posts or responds innocently or jokingly, gets a favorite or two, may get an enjoyable comment or two* Angry Commenter 1: *Finds the most negative way to take it and responds with haughty arrogance* Angry Commenter 2: "This mentioned some obscure thing 99.942% of the population find innocuous but I take offense to. It should have a CW!" Angry Commenter 3: *Finds a way to bring gender/race into the conversation such that I'm a horrible person because I am a CIS white man and they want me to know I'm not welcome to live let alone voice an opinion* Angry Commenter 4: "BUT GENOCIDE! Sub-tooter: "I can't believe some people respond innocently or jokingly and expect to get away with it." The saddest part is I am talking about Mastodon which is the place I have the best experiences. Why do people have to be like this? This is why we can't have nice things. #SocialMedia
