Smartphones make us more social, allowing us to reach each other ad hoc, not just by planning the meeting for a week. They makes us more free by providing helping tools like GPS and similar. They make us happier by helping to kill time while standing in the line or riding on the bus.
You're doing something wrong.
Social media has replaced and ruined real human interaction.
And what does it have to do with smartphones? You think that "social media" is "antisocial"? Well, then write it as "ban social media". Be precise with formulations.
You said they make us "more social". I said they don't.
Also acceptable.
You realize you're on social media right now?
You realized I said "replaced"?
So you used to hang out with your friends and share articles and comment on them in person then upvote/downvote and moderate? ok sure whatever you say...
Yes
Not all social media. But we know what you are talking about. The clout culture and instant gratification is what ruining them.
Banning one would only create thousands of copycats. And don't think they won't come here, if Lemmy, Mastodon or Pixelfed gets popular.
