Right. Let's do the same for drugs.

Irony aside, these platforms are addictive and polarizing by design. I doubt a little test will change anything.

You're being facetious but I genuinely think it's a good idea to normalise drugs. I believe that part of the problem with drugs is that they're considered forbidden, so if you share my viewpoint then it's not too dissimilar to the problems with social media or other addictive-but-bad-for-you products.

Opioids weren't forbidden for those with prescriptions and we all know how that turned out.

You realize HN here is social media, too?

And HN even recognizes it can be addictive to some. See the "noprocrast" setting on your user settings page.

I would argue that "social media" requires the social aspect, namely, contacts and direct messaging.
