I didn't see the other post and I believe you. If you say you deleted it, and they didn't, I think we'd both agree that's a problem they should fix or change.

I think the issues you're describing don't have anything to do with the social media service aspect, but more like bad practices of an online company. So I'd agree we should push for online tech companies to fix many issues, including security issues and offsite tracking and proper attribution, etc. But I don't believe in your original argument that we should abolish social media, because a lot of people want to use social media and it's not your right to stop them.

Sure, there are probably multiple ways we can improve the ecosystem with the same net effect. > But I don't believe in your original argument that we should abolish social media, because a lot of people want to use social media and it's not your right to stop them. I'm happy to give up decentralization or abolishment if someone can find a way to ensure that social media is treated like the extension to free speech that it is, that privacy is ensured strongly, and that virality is a thing of the past.
