People on such social media are not ever thier true selves. A non anonymous social media is a hall of mirrors and lies. People are only truely themselves when behind the mask of anonymity. There is no virtue without truth, and there is no truth in a place like Facebook.

Bad dopamine loops make you sad in the long run

Instagram is only good for fap fodder.
Facebook is good if you wanna see if that distant aunt is still alive, or maybe if you wanna get depressed by comparing your life to the (superior) lives of people you used to know.

Really, the worst social media platform is TikTok. It's everything stripped away to nothing but pure vanity.

what level of simulation is it?
they say that you will be in touch with the world more but does the world exist outside of fb if everybody else is on fb?

I hide the IG access behind some folders so I have to really REALLY have the intention to enter the app. That prevent me from binging social media. Just use it to order food, follow nat geo and stalk girls

Social media expropriates you of your own means of relating with other people in order to sell you that very tool of socialization
I would tell you to stop using it if there was social interaction outside of it

I mean there's numerous studies showing social media exacerbates depression. Being less sad seems like good philosophy.

Books to help me understand why this is bad. I'm in two minds. New Dark Age was good but wasn't particularly insightful. I have a friend who is a socialist political writer and is always harping on about the data collection and how it's the end of privacy. Who cares if some glownigger is reading my posts? If they use that info to deny me a job then probably fair enough. I'm posting on a Uyghur Semiotics Discussion Forum, I probably don't deserve the same treatment as those that follow the status quo.
