  EU has started the process of banning it as well.

    They banned then on staff devices, but I haven’t heard anything about them considering banning in for everyone. Do you have any details?

      Not EU as a whole, but Germany takes first steps regarding it. EU usually follows with such things.

  I think we need to separate “social media” from “giant corporation social media”. News groups were “social media”. Bulletin boards are as well. It’s clear the damage being done is from Meta, TikTok, etc. so maybe instead of banning, everybody sue them for damages. And taxes. Hit them where it hurts, the pocketbook.

    I call Facebook/Instagram/TikTok/LinkedIn and all that garbage “parasocial media” to separate it from forums and stuff. They are just grotesque places of self-representation, or rather conjuring up an image of oneself that soothes cognitive dissonance. A dreamworld with little social aspects other than that you may browse others’ fake self-image and feel-good escapism escapades.

  Where is the tldr bot :( Indian social media has gotten very toxic. It was brain rot trends during tiktok now it’s just starting up public harassment content openly broadcasted on Instagram, Facebook and yt shorts. The comment sections are even worse.

  It would’ve been great if the new, Indian, TikTok alternatives had been federated. They could’ve all built up a network together. I wonder why they didn’t do it. Money? Greed? Ignorance?
