Some have been calling for an 'internet condom.' I think we do need that, you can't solely rely on cognitive security (one's ability to dismiss the negative, triggering, or lies) because whether you're conscious of it or not these things get thru to us and they are large zero sum. The algorithms are addicting and it isn't designed to keep us upbeat because if we're too upbeat we aren't going to spend time online.
I like what farcaster is doing but it's somewhat narrow in scope for me but I think they have a shot especially by way of the protocol. It just needs to catch a little fire, a little interest and attract builders with similar goals. We need a bit of cyberpunk altruism.

that's a very good observation
