Never rely on any social media site for your news
Bookmark media outlets and go directly there yourself
By using social media as your only source for news you will become bias to certain things over time that bias turns to more negative thoughts and even anger << you're being manipulated by what others think >> as time goes on that anger becomes toxic >>> you become part of a "clique"
Cliques are a misguided attempt to gain acceptance and influence - In other words, people see cliques as a way to gain popularity, importance, or respect

You create a virtual "echo chamber" for yourself without knowing it - you end up blocking people just for having a diffrence of opinions - anyone who disagrees with your way of thinking is shunned away from view
Its a slippery slop 😬 that so many people fall down without actually knowing it
@ecksmc Whereas if you don't speak in easily-digestible cliches, you'll be ignored or called names.
Catch-22 😆 we all belong to one clique or another in some ways
That sais the trick is stay open to others opinions and beliefs no matter what they may be - try not to fall into the trap of removing people from your view/sight just because they go against one groups ideology - which so many people do by blocking people on SM
Everyone that doesn't think like them, or have the same beliefs, is seen as dumb, uneducated, and part of the problem - when along they are the ones who are creating a fake reality around them where everyone agrees, nods politely, and parrots each other << the world don't work like that
