I’m sure the irony is not lost on them. There’s a highly rated post regarding that very thing on the sub right now (https://old.reddit.com/r/nosurf/comments/ovdngk/dont_be_fooled_reddit_is_just_social_media_for/ https://old.reddit.com/r/nosurf/comments/ovdngk/dont_be_fool...). Where do you propose they gather? Freenode? Matrix? Some other obscure digital hangout? I think it’s prudent to encourage people trying to fix their situation no matter how messy the implementation. This is pure conjecture, but i’d wager that the majority of the posters on there are relatively young kids/adults who are wising up to the fact that social media is no longer _helping_ them. They may not be able to tell you how and why these “tools” are hurting them, but that’s ostensibly what they’re trying to figure out. If we can, as a society, figure out how/if they’re on to something, maybe we can help correct the course for them. If the next brilliant engineer skips on the shiny Data Science job or the FAANG post where he/she will build yet another “cool” thing, and decided instead to fix an existing thing, maybe the world would actually be the place that nobs like Paul Graham think it is.
