Yeah that's all social media. Block the things that make your doomscrolling unenjoyable instead of having a narc mindset about people enjoying shitposts different from the shitposts you enjoy
i would argue scrolling through endless “peepee poopoo” has a profoundly different effect on the experience of doomerism than scrolling through endless “genocide is good actually”. rage bait has an inherent engagement advantage and we can counteract that.

Yeah I would argue scrolling thru mindless drivel instead of well-worded debunkings and people helping each other with finding flaws in the current system, which is what was on the tanks in large amounts, would have two different end results. <- We can phrame both things to sound like the "more bad" thing.
The thing is though, I'm not a narc that gets mad some people like to write about shit and piss and have a laugh about that, instead of my own treat

I simply wouldn’t allow myself to be manipulated by the architecture of the underlying techno-social system
