  You're saying it as if it's a bad thing. Limiting social media to be only used for communication, and not algorithms is a good thing.

  Hopefully, the responses to this have highlighted the kind of people you are dealing with. No-one can use social media because some people in our society can't control themselves. Socialise the losses.

    > Hopefully, the responses to this have highlighted the kind of people you are dealing with. You know I'm right here, if you have an actual rebuttal and not just dismissive hand-waving. > No-one can use social media because some people in our society can't control themselves. I think a lot of people would be measurably better off if not for social media that algorithmically fucks with their brains. > Socialise the losses. I mean that's kind of the point of a society yeah? We pool our efforts to enable greater labor specialization and to achieve things no individual can. Like an electrical grid or a highway system. And when parts of those systems break down, we all contribute a little to sorting them out.
