They tried warning us about fb over 10 years ago and nothing happened
back then it wasn’t about political independence from the US.
the EU has made a lot of noise in the last 2 weeks about getting off of US platforms. Here’s a few examples:

ecfr.eu/…/get-over-your-x-a-european-plan-to-esca…
There’s many more. The movement is significant.
Then literally Web 2.0 is the problem. All social media stops existing if we go back from Web 2.0.
social media just needs http requests to exist, how does pre web 2.0 fix things honestly
Just go back to gopher.
Web 2.0 is the umbrella term for a bunch of things that enabled the social media we see today. Infinite scroll, notification toasts and asynchronous loading of new content to name a few.
If we had to reload a page every time we wanted new content we would see way less and move on more quickly.
let’s just go back to dial up internet.
25 years ago. Every study on social media and mental health back then showed it was bad.
nothing happened
Nah, the perpetrators continues to make endless money, etc. Lots of capitalist stuff has been happening.

I wouldn’t say nothing happened. Young people migrated off of it and it’s now the lead gasoline of the social media world
gustofwind@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah but young people didn’t migrate off it because it was harmful
They migrated in part to instagram which Facebook bought and made even more harmful than Facebook itself

Yeah ig is the worst part of Facebook, just people curating what they want people to think their life looks like
