      Lemmy is social media… any site we communicate through is social media, even old style forums are social media. Hell, even Stack Exchange could be considered social media. Should those be banned?

        I didn’t say they should be banned. People just shouldn’t be on them. It’s bad for mental health. It’s like smoking but for your brain.

          Eh… social media isn’t harmful on its own in moderation. It’s companies that game the system against their users to feedback loop rage and hate that’s the real issue.

          Though the addiction is real af, I do admit that.
