You are not a custom of :facebook: (or any other social media) you are the produced they sell to advertisers. Inherent to this model is negativity bias, people engage more with negative content that positive, so pushing for better content moderation is never going to work in a company that has a profit motive, or as points out in this video, its like a bandage for a bullet wound.
What I like most here, and if you are on the :fediverse: you will probably agree, the solution is simple:
Ban the business model. End surveillance capitalism. This model based on tracking people to discover weaknesses in their attention, then selling their attention to the highest bidder.
So if social media sites wish to continue they have to switch to a subscription model. Or better still I like the other solution here, which is bring them into public ownership. Yes Comrades! :marx:
