Social media is humans being social through media, I am sick and tired of it being categorically villainized especially because the scientific evidence for it being inherently bad is laughable.

No browser is wild. And what does that even mean here? You have to run everything by app now? That sounds like ass.

What is the point of it being linux if it just runs "99% of android apps" but no browser?

To say that social media is just people socializing through media is rather like saying that newspapers are just news on paper.

In both cases it ignores the deliberate, pervasive, and frequently toxic efforts of the platform curators to maximize "engagement" with their audience in pursuit of ad revenue.

When I socialize with people offline, it looks almost nothing like modern social media "services".

We are on social media right now, this is not inherent to social media it is a choice forced on it by corporations.
