Is it just me or is Twitter getting even more polarised lately? So ofc, the Nazis have always been on here but now it seems to me that even the "nice" people are becoming more polarised? I'm seeing more awful humble brags, "miscommunication", but also more apologies. Polarised.

This is probably the result of a system based on partial reinforcement and selective feeding of information. Individuals tend to from factions and, as collectors of tokens, group themselves in “clusters” that lead to maximise reward.

Yup. I'm just extra grossed out and extra impressed.

Another possible reason is that despite claims of fair-minded and welcoming attitudes, analytical minds tend to classify input. People are probably not exempted from that cataloguing process and are categorised in watertight compartments accordingly to some displayed attributes

It's just newly jarring. And some displayer of BS have been "told off" even by their "fellow clustered".
