  If they really want to stop the doom scrolling, they need to make let’s dance against Algorithms. The algorithms are the addictive part. It’s not the scrolling that’s hurting anyone.

    What if I said you’re addicted to the scroll. Your next hit is just one scroll away. Go on, scroll once more!

      But Oracle, I’m on Lemmy, If I scroll for more than 45 minutes, I run out of content.

  I would prefer them to go after mechanisms like this over tying all web activity to IDs I guess, but punishing and penalizing companies that have clear ill intent and demonstrate a lack of moral scruples seems the most efficient way to address the issues we’re seeing with social media design.

    It’s all bureaucratic nonsense that will get nothing done, and just placates people while the companies continue to do the same thing they always have with a different mechanism.

    This is more pathetic than a US democrat offering cheaper health insurance instead of socialized healthcare.

    This is the “we need people to drive less to save the environment so let’s block all those new electric cars everyone wants that’ll slow em down” equivalent
