I think social media is making us more divided as a society. When I look at my feeds, I see people in their own bubbles, rarely engaging with opposing views. A recent Pew survey showed 64% of Americans feel social media has a mostly negative effect on society. And engagement algorithms seem to promote content that triggers strong emotions like outrage. This seems to be driving us further apart. I'm curious what others think - are there ways to fix this, or is it an inevitable consequence of these platforms?
