There's a light side?

Some good has come out of social media. I’ve seen people get reconnected with long lost family or friends, organize actual necessary protests, and the local buy nothing groups are great for reducing waste.

Facebook 15 years ago wasn't all that bad tbh. It was nice being able to write to just about anyone you met in real life.

It'd already been getting worse for a while, but to me, the 2016 US election was when things got super obvious. Same with reddit. Can't believe it's been 8 years already.
