How are people supposed to build healthy habits with social media when every app is specifically designed to keep you on there for as long as possible

Yeah social media and tech are bad in their own way, but people continuing to point at it as if it’s the true evil and not the people behind it/the people in power drives me nuts

valid point, but people can still take steps to create healthier boundaries (like setting timers, unfollowing certain accounts, muting notifications, or taking breaks). you can acknowledge the manipulative design while still empowering people to build habits that work for them

True but I was just pointing out that social media IS actually evil and inherently so

yeah i get why it can feel that way. a lot of the design is manipulative and can have negative effects. but i’d still argue that ‘evil’ isn’t inherent to the technology itself. it’s a tool. how people use it and how it’s structured determines the impact. you can have positive, meaningful experiences on social media too, so it’s more complicated than just ‘good’ or ‘evil.’
