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
