Nothing gives me more anxiety than HN. Facebook is nothing compared to the depression I get from being constantly downvoted here simply by having an opinion that doesn't resonate with the norm.

Well, a particular orange website has a audience that appeals to opinions from liberal tech folks. I couldn't care less about if they agree / disagree with my opinions. They are free to do so, which I support.
What's worse is the censoring, shadow-banning, flagging of genuine posts or opinions on these social networks including the orange site that really ruins the discussion and distorts the situation.
As soon as you see that trying to please everyone + looking at everyone's updates is an eternal race to the bottom, then social media gradually becomes irrelevant to you.
