But, this is the drama... you are part of the drama ;P (as am I! and we are both doing this--"instead of doing something actually pleasant"--because, what? FWIW, I can see the argument that it is maybe being justified mentally as "social activism"--for both of us, though in different ways--but I actually think, at least for me, that it is a form of escapism and addiction).

Well as far as drama goes, this community is about as dramatic as a box of cereal

On the one hand for me, it's escapism. On the other, there's a lot of novelty available, new things that we'd never encounter irl. Which gives us new ideas for things to try irl. Sort of like the printing press spreading information faster

Eh idk if that’s true.

Think about the drama that was the recent rust for Linux lead resigning. People then have their opinions about it and then it spills into the comments here.

I think you just care less about the social media drama as described in the submission (which is ok).
