    These people are addicted to such a degree that they’re functionally on the same level as literal junkies, just without the physical damage. Social media was such a fucking mistake, and I don’t think we’re ever going to recover from it within our lifetime.

    Ted Kaczynski was right.

        I mean, yeah. The only ‘social media’ I have is kbin, and I check it once or twice a day. If it went anywhere, I wouldn’t really give a shit, as I left all the major platforms years ago and adding one more to that list wouldn’t bother me. Don’t group me in with Twitter (x?) users because I called them out on their addiction, when I’ve already done what they seemingly can’t.
