The trouble with making a worse option is that people still have choice and will simply use the more entertaining version instead. You can't just make a new social network that's not as engaging as the existing ones because nobody would use it. The moment you're really curious about the thing being hidden from you in the degraded service, you'll sneak a look at the real one to find out. If you had so much self control that you don't, then why do you even need a service for it? Just limit the number of hours you spend on social media yourself.

In this case the community would be a self-selecting group of people with self control and a value for more thoughtful communication. The resulting content would presumably be different from what you'd get if you just viewed mainstream social media on a restricted schedule.
