@bodhipaksa maybe stop using it then? If it was any other services provider, they wouldn't get the business but the success of these platforms is that they make us think we won't survive without them when we clearly do. There are better alternatives but so many of us think otherwise.
@TheComfortableSpotPodcast She’s a teenager, at a time (college freshman move-in day yesterday) when connecting with friends is vitally important. All her friends are on it. It’s not an easy thing even for adults to walk away from these things.

@bodhipaksa @TheComfortableSpotPodcast All true, and yet....

We won't stop the pernicious effects of #capitalist #clickbait focussed social media if we don't leave it ourselves, and persuade those around us to leave it, too. I do understand how hard this is, and I would hate to be an impediment to young people building their social networks in a way that works for them, but...

@bodhipaksa @TheComfortableSpotPodcast I had that issue with Facebook and Google messenger/hangouts. I left with the line "If keeping in touch with me is as important to you as my privcy and safety is to me, you'll reach me [here]".

...many did not. Oh well. I have better friends now.
