I think addiction is a key aspect. Like with gambling there is of course that aspect of responsibility, but regulation to minimize harm is also important.

All the major social media apps being designed to exploit that dopamine response is kind of like junk foods being the most common due to being subsidized; of course people just shouldn’t eat junk food, but we should make healthy options the most prevalent and common instead.

Of course that would require a government that would actually force corporations to implement harm reductive measures, instead of one bought by and working for corporations…

FOSS alternatives like Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Loops should be much healthier due to no algorithm working to maximize engagement. I also think social isolation is a big part of the addiction aspect, at least in America

Old articles are outside the scope of the politics communities since they’re about recent ones. Maybe there should be a political discussion community that can discuss old articles and relate them to the current political climate.

Edit: looks like the politics community doesn’t have that rule about recent articles like the news communities, seems like a valid post to me
