There's no healthy social media. Please focus your resources on Firefox.

> There's no healthy social media.

I am a bit more optimistic than that. Social media depends on how we use them, but because technology is advancing so fast, a lot of people have yet to settle on a usage pattern that is healthy for them.

But I do agree on Mozilla should focus more on Firefox.

Technology isn't going to advance at a slower rate in the future, which means that even with your "optimistic" take people wont settle on a more healthy usage pattern.

But the whole point is moot anyways. As long as SM is designed to drive engagement by exploiting the most base instincts in us, we will keep seeing unhealthy behaviour.

There is no healthy social media.

Until number of emotionally unhealthy people is <<<< mature healthy people, with time, SM will always be unhealthy.
