>this current social media centered around outrage, fear, anger and rage

Whenever I see takes like this, I wonder what platforms people are using and how they're using them.

I interact with my family on facebook, read some stuff on subreddits I like, and don't use twitter; I don't really experience any of the above. My girlfriend, by contrast, will come to me visibly shaken once a week regarding some drama happening on instagram, which baffles me.

Am I the one that's out of touch here? Or is this 'FUDmedia' a bit overblown and the result of spending time looking for the hot goss? I'm probably the one that's out of touch, but oh boy is it nice.
