It's already annoying to buy drugs just because some % of people get too addicted. Now you also want to forbid doomscrolling?
replyYes. To be clear, the implication of this comment is that you would like to deregulate addictive drugs...?
replyIf ~20% of users get an addiction problem I think its not that clear it should be forbidden for everyone.
replyIf basically everyone who takes it for a while gets addicted and dies of course it should be forbidden.
So I would argue that cigaretts should not be allowed but we could discuss cocaine.
Empathy? For the doomscrollers?
replyPlease tell me you're trolling, Mr. 6-day-old Account, I'll feel better.
If "scrolling == heroin" is the comparison we're working with here, then SF, Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver BC are living examples that empathy doesn't work.
Why write like this? This is what sick internet communities look like. Mocking people for their account age, advocating for hating people for the sin of being addicted to social media. This is antisocial behavior, and we should do everything in our power to eject it from the small remaining pockets of sanity on the internet.
