Posted elsewhere but there's a difference between lower engagement chronological feeds and healthy social media interactions. Rage-baiting curated timelines drive engagement but aren't healthy for end-users.
When I log on here, I scroll through the most recent posts briefly and if there's something of interest, I engage healthily and move on. Same with FB now that I broke the algorithm with my ad-blocker so that my feed is updating less frequently.
