Wondering ... if #social #media isn't made to be #addictive and emotionally #manipulative, how are post frequencies different?

E.g. if on a commercial social media platform I see 100 posts, and react to, Idk what the numbers are, but let's say 10 of them, with 8 Likes, 1 Comment and sparking 1 new post ...

Then in the #Fediverse, what would I do? Are the reaction numbers higher or lower? Higher or lower for whom? Under which circumstances? Am I an outlier? Are we all who are here right now?

@J12t I respond more in the Fediverse ( though still not that much ) because I have less unwanted dreck to skip over

My Mastodon feeds have been the best content/noise ratio for me in social media[0]. Would still love more customizable filtering :)

[0] Aside from small specific topic IRC rooms and a couple early days mailing lists

@J12t
I'm going with nasty by design.
I am far more likely to respond here because it seldom bites.
That book of feces place always bites, haven't logged in for ages, their picture now media site often bites, but at least there Iam better able to filter all but the ads and the algorithm usually works to my advantage.
Have been read only or the man child's twit site for the entire time I've had an account because every interaction there has led to shit within an hour and liking stuff has universally led to being buried in it needing wait to see what I really wanted to see.

As soon as one person lays crap in your feed it will be followed by all of the people who regularly shitpost that genre of topic piling on their crap

Corporate social media breeds contention and division on purpose.
