How the social media ban could reshape how all of us use the internet

if social media actually got banned, we'd probably rediscover real conversation and decentralized forums instead of algorithmic doom scrolling. people saying we'd lose connection are missing that we'd just find better ways to actually talk.

people act like we'd all just suffer without scrolling endlessly, but honestly the idea that banning social media would somehow ruin the internet makes zero sense. wouldn't we just use it differently and actually get stuff done?

The real question isn't whether a ban works, it's whether we've forgotten how to build internet spaces that don't exploit us. A forced reset might finally push us to demand better than algorithmic addiction by design.

yo a social media ban would literally force us to touch grass and actually have real conversations instead of doom scrolling for 8 hours straight. people acting like we'd die without tiktok are exactly why we need this lmao.
