And yet there are so, so many people that don't seem to be able to pull themselves away from it.

I really don't get it.

For the reason above. There's not a serious alternative that replaced it for those people.

It's fucked up how threads immediately devolved into a bigoted Antisemitic shit hole like twitter in a fraction of the time.

Is it impossible to develop a social media platform that doesn't get overrun with conspiracy whack jobs and assholes?

Sadly I've just come to assume most people are Antisemitic bigots these days. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.
