    My toxic trait is that I really think social media would actually be fine in a healthy society that doesn’t depend on emiseration of the working (and middle) class and glorify commoditization and commercial exploitation of things like interpersonal relationships, art and culture, and packaging your life up as a story to sell to advertising companies in exchange for a tiny cut of their revenue, and in which people are disempowered in even imagining a better world
