  I will not deony that (The politics echo is a perfect example), however there 
is one hudge difference that makes social media much more insideous.  As 
already mentioned in my original response.  A BBS is not targeted.  It does not 
keep track of what I response to, what I click thumbs down, or the angry face 
emoji to and know to make me read more posts with that content.  Keeping their 
reaction metrics high and me coming back for more because I am now addicted to 
the dopamine hit.

  That is why I want to take a step back and focus on BBSing again for awhile.
