I don't think it's that people like being mad. I think it's that they just care about things and think they're important. It's very nice to be able to be carefree, but a lot of people place things like honour or duty or morality above their own happiness at times.
Replying to posts online shouldn't be sufficient to fulfill those things for you anyway. Go outside and be useful if that's so what you find fulfilling. It's highly unlikely you'll change anyone's mind on social media. People use it to have their biases reinforced.
