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?
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.
Yeah yeah, virtue signaling, and most of EU online services are now gated by the use of one of the whatng cartel web engines (IRL, google blink), namely EU web sites are broken favoring web apps. They have to restore interop with noscript/basic html web engines (past/present/and future). Then, they have to be carefull with their file formats, for instance you never give "carte blanche" to such a disgusting format lik…
Is ending endless scrolling really virtue signaling? Don't you think it will have a measurable effect?
BTW, with noscript/basic HTML, no infinite scroll anyway. One Rock Two Birds. Ironically.

Yeah yeah, whataboutism. I'm very happy they're taking a stance. I've seen too many messed up kids and there's no doubt the addictive design plays a big role in the problem.
EU online service must interop with web sites and not be _ONLY_ web apps which are hard dependent on the massive and ultra complex web engines of the whatng cartel (this word fits their behavior).
The EU online services which cannot be provided via a web site (noscript/basic HTML), which are very few to none, should use well defined, as simple as possible, stable in time, open and published protocols/file formats. That can be 'subset' of broadly available protocols/file formats. The benchmark is writing real-life code to handle such protocols/file formats should be reasonable for a very small team of devs or a solo average dev.
I wonder where all the money to deal with web apps is actually going, you know where web sites were carefully broken...

> "In the EU, there is a a political discussion about outlawing privacy." > "In the US, the government is using illegal methods to violate rights granted by the constitution." Agreed one is obviously better than the other. The EU treats privacy as a privilege granted by the government while the US treats it as a fundamental right. I'm not a fan of the US gov but I also don't agree with the candy colored view of the E…
.."the US treats it as a fundamental right." Not gonna lie, didnt expect on HN to forget this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowden_disclosures

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.
Get rid of the very site you're on then?

Yeah, like how hn has an algorithm that ranks stories to maximise engagement... obviously this is not bad but somehow tiktok is bad

People are complaining about products engineered to be as addictive as possible, we're talking about something more than simple self control
everybody has a choice to just uninstall apps, leave the phone at home, switch it off at 8pm etc. that's what it means to be an adult. some people get addicted to work or sports - people even died from it - should we ban that, too?

When hn pushes 99% content other than tech then yes. It'll literally be the same.

So it's ok if hackernews "manipulated (me) into (needing) to spend more time on them artificially" because it's tech? Can you see the mental gymnastics is you're having to pull up make this work?
