It’s certainly a losing game. I’ve deleted most of my accounts these days. I think the future is just going to be people retreating in to instant messaging and small group chats where you have physically met the other people.

I guess now we know why there is no social media in Star wars or star Trek

It's kind of pointless in the world where it's easy to clone your way of talking and have thousands bots talking for you. It unavoidably turns into bots talking to bots

I think governments should enforce a social network of a maximum 150 direct contacts and setup 3 independent agencies that play the role of gate keepers for content coming from outside this small network. The agencies analyze external content, if 2/3 of them approve a content, it is pass to everybody.

These agencies would each employ thousands of people and paid by the government. All employees will have a mandate of 3 years maximum, managers included.

It's been my present for about 10 years. It's wonderful. Social media damage mental health. Messages with friends don't.

Group chats are borderline but I can silence them for a few hours when people start quarreling and I don't care taking part in the discussion. No infiniscroll, no addiction.
