| Oooooof. Can I recommend you spend some time developing some empathy? The world is complicated. People's lives are complicated (and often meditated by their phones). People's emotional and social wellbeing is complicated, and simply ghosting all your social groups on a random Tuesday is likely to cause significant problems. |

You are in a great place in your life, if your most significant problem is caused by not liking a stupid meme and a breakfast photo your friends posted on a random Tuesday... |

| It's already annoying to buy drugs just because some % of people get too addicted. Now you also want to forbid doomscrolling? |

| ▲ | randomNumber7 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | If ~20% of users get an addiction problem I think its not that clear it should be forbidden for everyone. If basically everyone who takes it for a while gets addicted and dies of course it should be forbidden. So I would argue that cigaretts should not be allowed but we could discuss cocaine. |

| ▲ | happytoexplain 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | Why write like this? This is what sick internet communities look like. Mocking people for their account age, advocating for hating people for the sin of being addicted to social media. This is antisocial behavior, and we should do everything in our power to eject it from the small remaining pockets of sanity on the internet. | | |
