Do you think new websites like this are ever going to break people's reliance on the big players like FB/Twitter or are they always destined for smaller and niche communities?

Maybe these small cannabis startups will break people's reliance on the big players of alcohol and tobacco companies. What is more likely is that the big players will copy or outright take over any successful companies in the space. Text only is in the same boat, but probably even easier for big tech companies to copy than cannabis.

Just don't care about it. Limit your emotional response.

So even there you have to be careful. As G.K. Chesterton puts it "Impartiality is a pompous name for indifference which is an elegant name for ignorance." So while I agree that withholding emotional response is a key to accurate thinking, we should not use that as an excuse to not care about real social problems.

Not my major, not employed as one, I do program at work and home though.
