I wish we would ban social media for at least 2 days per week, these apps are extremely distracting and will be seen like gambling addiction in the future.
It does to a degree but HN by design encourages people to set limits in their profile options with maxvisit, minaway, noprocrast. Self govern rather than govern from above.
I would say social media should be required to put in 15 minute breaks every hour by default and maybe you can switch it off. That would be a reasonable compromise.
