The purpose of technology is to make things easier for people, not harder. I personally haven't had problems with this and am fine using your strategy, but I still think Facebook is smart for trying to tackle an issue that clearly a lot of people have.

We can get into the debate of whether or not technology is making us worse as people (which I completely disagree with), but that's a rabbit hole. Also, I don't think technology is causing the problems you're talking about. Safe space issues, I think, are happening for two reasons:

1) This generation is very aware of inequalities between different groups of people, and wants it to stop

2) This generation was raised by parents who were too controlling of their environments
