Hysteria is not adequately defined in this comment. It's social media, a buzzword.

This comment is just noise without specifying what they're talking about.

> The word hysteria originates from the Greek word for uterus, hystera.

The way you use the term hysteria feels wrong to me.

In 2026, expecting articles about social media to contain a definition of the term ‘social media’ is so peculiar as to seem disingenuous. Can you perhaps explain exactly what you think is so ambiguous about how they use the term that we can’t just assume the common meaning?

big normie social media yes, but people still have hella actual conversations on bluesky and mastodon and (i think) they use chronological fields by default

There is more than enough research.

But nothing's going to change as long as we continue pretending that billionaires hoarding pieces of "special" paper (or numbers in a bank account) are less mentally ill than people hoarding pieces of regular paper (or other things).

My facebook seems to have trained itself to never give me "political content".

Still, I open it about once per week to check for events at my favorite saturday evening hang outs, look at some cat photos and close it.
