I heard a comedian once compare the Internet to driving in traffic. A lot of people in the Internet treat each other like crap. I would argue that it's even promoted on some platforms. I don't see this changing.

Hopefully the next generation of girls and boys growing up just never starts using these shit platforms and they all collapse under their own bullshit in the next few years. Social media is absolutely not necessary and is actively detrimental to good health.

I empathize but what does she want? People are assholes. They're assholes on social media and they're assholes everywhere else.

Platforms could moderate their content. They choose not to.

Moderation? All mainstream social media has done away with it and blatantly allows that stuff to happen.
