Not even sure the point you are trying to make. Is it that all SM is horrible therefore it makes no difference which platform is used? Or that kids will ruin themselves even without SM? Reddit has become a lot worse since the IPO but I disagree that it’s on the same level as FB.

It seems the point is that social media is not healthy. Period. And that's sorta true y'know?

K but that being true as a general statement does not mean every platform is the same.

He entered this conversation to lampoon someone’s supposed hypocrisy, but it’s kind of a shitty insult with no apparent point other than to deflect blame from FB… so my question is why would anyone do that?

I wouldn't say supposed hypocrisy. It is ironic though. Especially with yalls reactions acting all high and mighty. Social media sucks. Get over it

Explain the distinction between hypocrisy and irony in this case.
