 I love your Swiss knife analogy—it’s spot on. Social media can be super powerful but also risky, depending on who's using it. 

You’re right about the dopamine hits, short attention spans, and fake personas being issues, but the most dangerous part is how algorithms are controlling what we see and say. It’s like we’re being silenced without even realizing it. Oversharing is a problem too, and people forget how to set boundaries. 

Social media definitely exposes whether our leaders align with the vision of freedom or not. 
 The sad part is, it will only get worse if we all allow this trajectory we are in. The great part is  we are here on #nostr. It is a beginning to shift the direction of travel. I have seen and interacted with so many people on here working towards the same goal fighting for the same beliefs, "freedom".  All we can do now is to continue to spread awareness and to try our utmost to lead by example. I am grateful to meet you on here. I hope to see more of you and your notes. 👌❤️
