You realize HN here is social media, too?
- Symbiote 2y agoAnd HN even recognizes it can be addictive to some. See the "noprocrast" setting on your user settings page.
- lukan 2y agoYes? So ban it all, just like drugs?
- probably_wrong 2y agoI would argue that "social media" requires the social aspect, namely, contacts and direct messaging.
- lukan 2y agoEveryone has a profil and everyone who wants to, leaves contact inside the profil.
- TomK32 2y agoWe socialize here, just last month I read someone's comment about life in the Canadian country-side and realized he's the brother of a Youtuber I'm watching for years. The same happens on any other social platform be it in the internet or real life.
- lukan 2y agoYes and I would not demonize it. The problem I see, are networks that are financed mainly by ads - so they have the incentive to keep engagement artifically high and spy as much as possible. But "banning social media" does not ask that question.
