Because I'm an adult, rather than a sheep for you to control, and I much prefer being shown things in my interest (via recommendation alg) rather than things in the general populations interest. In fact, I wish I could upload my own recommendation model to all the social media, to curate it better, and put some black holes near topics I want to avoid, with the option to fuzz it a bit for exploration.

And saving these locally doesn't work for you or something?

And use "localized" social media for the rest?

How would this work exactly? How do you speak to people offline?

Sms?

Signal and discord is more localized

But what about the actual content? People aren't scared of social media because you can message people, it's because of the short form videos. How are you supposed to have an offline version of that?

That's the point?

Social media is simply share x thing with either the world or a group of people or an individual.

The issue is when that is manipulated into you need to spend more time on them artificially.
