This is as pretentious as saying you need poison to counteract poison. The fix for social media is NOT another app- you need to realise if that has any ROI for your social interaction. Most users doom-scroll or track/stalk others and "pseudo-react" as just extensions of lab-rat experiments for minor dopamine hits and hooked to digital drugs.
- Zak 4y ago> poison to counteract poison Atropine is the standard antidote to several nerve gases and pesticides. It is itself quite toxic, as are the standard antidotes to atropine overdose. Analogies often fall apart when examined literally, but I do think there's a role for software to play in mitigating the harms of social media. This is almost certainly not that software, but I like online one-to-many and many-to-many communication with people I actually know, and miss what Facebook provided when most of what it showed me was original content from my friends and family.
