Of all the reasons to avoid so called social media this is probably the worst. How about the fact that the average person creates unoriginal and bad content or the fact that 99.9% of it is chad and staceys highschool dating simulator for adults? How about the fact that you've read 1984 and you wouldn't let someone limit you to grunting in 280 characters. Oh, and the real kicker -- its become a cringy subculture centered around mob mentality, bad behavior, and shouting down all the other voices as much as possible. Christ! Literally all of it is tightly controlled by corporations/government that invest billions in brain research. Give me a break.

- dawg- 7y agoThe scariest and most prescient part of 1984 turns out to have been the 2 Minutes' Hate. See: China on reddit last week.
- raxxorrax 7y agoA perfect balance between 1984 and Brave New World sounds absolutely lovely.
