Social media gets a lot of bad press in the mainstream media. A lot of people in non-tech circles talk about how to spend less time on Facebook, etc., because they feel it has a negative impact.
Personally, I think it's a shame big social media is such a general disaster, because I've always had a good experience on Facebook and Twitter.
its becoming quite a common take on social media, especially all the "look at my blog post on how i quit social media" posts on reddit
youtubers/ig accounts are very open about the effects of social media, maybe you should check some other sites to see HN... isn't that unique in this view
Though I agree with the sentiment, I'm not sure Linus carries much authority in speaking about social media.
