Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law

  Even if they somehow limit time spent on forums, mastodon, whatever, content can be saved for later consumption, and responses composed for later posting. Instant access to the latest tweet or tiktok isn’t helping anyone but advertisers.

    We aren’t sure how this rebutts what we said. Commercial social media seems to us to be the problem for the most part, open source social media run by real people seems to be a lot healthier from what we have experienced.

      This place feels like Reddit before it enshittified. I missed those old days.

        That’s somewhat depressing if so as I’ve run into so many assholes here. Still, interesting to know.

      If you read what I wrote, open source social media is also easier to consume and interact with in the manner I described. Usenet, e-mail, IRC, forums, even private messaging and group-chats are all both healthier to interact with and less demanding of our time than “services” that bury the content we want to see like facebook and the rest.

      Every single on is still around and in use by the same people who built the internet and others who get more done for themselves and open-source projects than you or I or most of us on Lemmy and the more modern de-federated schemes.

        So.why do you want restrictions targeting marginalised groups?
