Oooooof. Can I recommend you spend some time developing some empathy?
The world is complicated. People's lives are complicated (and often meditated by their phones). People's emotional and social wellbeing is complicated, and simply ghosting all your social groups on a random Tuesday is likely to cause significant problems.
- randomNumber7 8mo agoIt's already annoying to buy drugs just because some % of people get too addicted. Now you also want to forbid doomscrolling?
- happytoexplain 8mo agoYes. To be clear, the implication of this comment is that you would like to deregulate addictive drugs...?
- randomNumber7 8mo agoIf ~20% of users get an addiction problem I think its not that clear it should be forbidden for everyone. If basically everyone who takes it for a while gets addicted and dies of course it should be forbidden. So I would argue that cigaretts should not be allowed but we could discuss cocaine.

- happytoexplain 8mo agoWhy write like this? This is what sick internet communities look like. Mocking people for their account age, advocating for hating people for the sin of being addicted to social media. This is antisocial behavior, and we should do everything in our power to eject it from the small remaining pockets of sanity on the internet.

- thunderfork 8mo agoBy this logic, you can cure alcoholism by simply not buying alcohol, surely.
- ahhhhnoooo 8mo agoSomeone hurt this person, I suspect. And it has left them bitter, resentful, and angry at anything that gets in their path. They probably don't like that someone is challenging their ability to be neighborly, follow the golden rule, etc. because it conflicts with their mental model of themself. I hope someday they will introspect and realize that we are all humans, and all humans deserve wellbeing, even those whose choices, opinions, or situation we disagree with or find unpleasant.

You are in a great place in your life, if your most significant problem is caused by not liking a stupid meme and a breakfast photo your friends posted on a random Tuesday...

Or you’re in a terrible place in your life, and the small endorphin release from liking stupid memes and breakfast photos is how you try and escape from terrible things that haunt you day-to-day.
- ahhhhnoooo 8mo agoCan you point to where I said "most"? If not, please don't put words in my mouth.
- happytoexplain 8mo agoStop playing the suffering comparison game. It's crabs-in-a-pot behavior.
