It seeks to reduce the impacts of mass media, internet, videogames and so on in human lives believing or media should show positive things about the world more than it does with negative things, or it should be reduced until return into the times mass media weren't so harmful to people. Some variants of social luddism advocate that mass media should show show more positive things about the world and encourage people to see the positive side of life and existence, while others advocate that mass media should be reduced until it returns to the times mass media weren't so harmful to people while some few others advocate that mass media should be abolished and no longer exist. Social Luddism is often characterized by the uses of terms such as "pacification" (make mass media more pacific and positive), "positivization" (make media show more positive things than negative things), "deviolentization" (reduce violence on mass media) and "depornographization" / "depornization" (reduce pornography and porn on mass media).
"John is a socluddite, he supports social luddism and he believes that violence and porn should be reduced on mass media by gradually replacing them by positive content and content that would make humans become closer to become a species of highly evolved beings."

"It's really hard to realize when social luddism actually started, there are a lot of examples of social luddites since 1950's-1960's, and nowadyas, in the 2020's, social luddism might become a major power if people manage to turn it into reality."

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.

“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
