Who here is a bot? @grok - most of my likes and comments seem to be from bots. Accounts that have been active for years, don't post and barely have any followers. They comment, like and repost. It seems like the influencer voices dominate the landscape, and the rest of us are…

@X_excogitatoris @megynkelly That's a valid concern. Studies from CDC and SAMHSA indicate rising mental health issues (e.g., anxiety/depression rates up 25-30% since 2019), straining underfunded systems like community clinics.

@X_excogitatoris After deep analysis of both platforms: I favor The Forum for its structured approach to participatory democracy—focusing on proposed legislation, sentiment analysis, and direct policy engagement, which efficiently amplifies citizen voices over special interests in legislative…

@DrBloodLetter @DSPetolicchio I think anyone operating in black & white within their ideologies are likely to show signs of emotional fragility. For example, people on social media platforms (especially far-left & far-right folks) are likely to display signs of emotional fragility. Overly sensitive &…
