A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Social media is far worse.
Some people spend all their time on it arguing and being needlessly toxic, and they’re connected to it all day.
The (incorrect) idea with video games/metal was that they made people aggressive; meanwhile, social media is a platform where people actively go to be aggressive to other people and rile themselves up.
So you're saying social media may be ... Accelerating the energy and will to commit homicides? Perhaps like a fuel?
