Ah yes, because no-one got unhealthily addicted to IRC or BBS or SMS or whatever. Digital detox is more about taking time to be purposefully disconnected from current affairs and people you might be better off not interacting with.
Although not the careers MUDs’ creators - I dated the daughter of one of them once upon a time, and his academic career was founded on his contribution to the creation of MUD!
people can, but they weren’t built for the purpose of engagement bait like stuff is now. texting is sending words from one device to another without moderation or an algorithim, so you only see what people are saying
on most socials it pushes engagement bait and whatnot, and they’re both solutions and they can be solutions to the same problem or to slightly different problems that look the same. it is the fault of both the customer and the company.

not sure if its sarcasm, but anyway
Yeah it was sarcasm. Because people wanted digital detoxes before all that.
honestly swapping to a smaller social can feel better than a detox, or at least for me, so far
