So called "social" media exists to isolate you. The illusion if your life being "crippled" only affects you if you choose to let that happen
cool soundbite for your edgelords' meeting.
in real life, most people live in a society and engage in some communities, these have some means of communication and since it’s 21st century, they are usually digital. and these communities are not centered around you and few dozens/hundreds/thousands people are not going to leave the tool they all know and switch to another tool just because you told them to.
if i lose access to my school’s discord, my ability to communicate with my schoolmates and ask for a help or information on anything school related is going to be significantly crippled, to the point where i am not going to do that.

It's funny how you keep trying to justify your discord addiction.
it is not that funny how you can't read.
I can read you justifying your addiction just fine.
