It may sound silly but it's put succinctly and there's an element of grim truth to it.

Additionally, do we have to compare everything to Reddit? It's the Internet, people are going to cope how they cope.

    I just want to filter out the words Reddit, Elon and Trump. I’m just so tired.

    Yeah but it's in bad taste.

    Bad taste is when people draw attention away from the actual issues and towards making sure the language is sufficiently inoffensive and mild enough for their delicate sensibilities. This is one of the worst traits that the Fediverse has developed.
