I like the idea, but I think it's a matter of entropy. There are far fewer "wholesome" states than there are "toxic" states in humans. We CAN do as you suggest, but it's not just a matter of doing something different, it's doing something more sophisticated.

We didn't always need sewage systems. A ditch at the back of the village was enough. Sure, people got sick, but people could stay well with care. Moving forward, as people lived in bigger and bigger communities, it became harder and harder to avoid shit. No reasonable amount of care could protect you. The solution was the sewage system, to carry away and render harmless the inevitable toxins we produce.

Social media needs a sewage system.

Unfortunately it's in the interests of some in power to perpetuate or even worsen the current situation. And they've got an easy hook to stop us from making a change: free speech. Another white American male invention.
