and what i see is a billion serf's getting exploited by a small minority of tech feudal lords. There is no alternative, except opting out of the game entirely. That is the point I wish to make here. There is no making a safe social media. Facebook is irredeemable. Social media is destructive to society by design.

Well, I'm sure people will not listen to someone who calls them serfs so I think you should ask yourself what your goal is. If it's to convince people to drop social media altogether you'll have to give them a plausible replacement for the very real value they're being asked to walk away from (and treat them with more respect). If your point is just to vent, then cool. I understand your position, I just think it's a dead end and not actionable.
