I'm thinking you care too much about the thoughtless reactions of anonymous strangers.
Remember... In this game, the points don't matter.
Maybe you move public perception of a product or political goal.
To push a narrative of some kind. Astroturfing basically.
Meaningless? Sure. But you can't say they're pointless!

Like most services, direct messages aren't encrypted. The admins can read all your messages.
Don't ever put something on a social media service, you don't want the whole world to see. This goes for everything that isn't open source and end to end zero knowledge encrypted.
I own a copy of The Catcher in the Rye.
Small pause. That's all
