hot take, social media
I think social-media-as-a-service has done far more damage to society than even public commentators recognize; because it has deprived an entire generation of learning both how to build community yourself, and why that is an important and necessary thing to know.

@CosmickTrigger I wouldn't extrapolate it to that. The internet itself is quite decentralized, and the issue I'm describing is happening at the point of centralization that's built on top of that.
It relates much more to the incentives of capitalism than it does to the internet, as either a concept or a design.
