Social media seems to blur the lines between fantasy and reality for many individuals in a way that they don't seem able to deal with. In times gone by we'd generally expect that children realise what happens in a movie or a videogame is fantastical. By contrast, social media is treated as a set of interactions with real people, whether those be your friends or whoever else. Even posting here on HN is an example. The platform guides me; my (and I assume your) viewpoint of what the development community thinks about things is swayed. I don't think the platform creators are to blame as much as, well, the entire society we're in. We really need to push organic interactions with the communities we're in, the people around us, not online bubbles with incredible bias that aren't even necessarily made of real humans.
