Also, they are not on the #fediverse.

Yet I don't care much about them, and my post was not intended as an endorsement of their organization or future goals.

I just think that people should know why the mainstream #SocialNetworks are so #toxic and #addictive: it's a design goal of the #BigTech running them, and there is no wise or proper or smart way to wield them.

We can only quit them or be worthless puppets obeying their will.

The #EuropeanCommission accused #TikTok of designing its app to be #addictive, citing features like infinite scroll and its recommendation engine. The Commission said TikTok must change its design to reduce compulsive use, particularly among minors and vulnerable adults. TikTok denied the allegations and stated it will challenge the findings. https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/06/eu-tiktok-disable-addictive-features-infinite-scroll-recommendation-engine/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

You wouldn't host your community in a casino.

Addictive algorithms, amplified hateful content, doomscrolling. It's time to call social media what it is: dangerous.

"The recent surge in the use of #GLP1 weight-loss drugs has propelled addiction-adjacent terms such as “#foodnoise” and “#foodcravings” into common vernacular. But can food actually be addictive? Now some neuroscientists and food behavior researchers are trying to understand if food—particularly #ultraprocessedfoods—can be #addictive in the same way as other known substances, such as cigarettes, alcohol and cocaine."
