Using https://wwebjs.dev/ to read my whatsapp messages,
redis for storage/interop,
and a script written for https://github.com/matryer/xbar for a "GUI",
instead of running WhatsApp Desktop / WhatsApp Web on my machine (very bad for my attention), I have a status bar icon saying when did I last get a message from my wife, and the text of the last few messages.
you can use matrix and integrate all those (whatsbook, telegram, irc, etc) into a single client. most clients have os integration and custom notification settings
The inefficiency of that process increases electricity usage, the carbon footprint, and therefore contributes to climate change. Which, eventually, murders puppies.
Good enough for your arbitrary standard? I would have thought the fact that all preceding side effects will be re-executed each time a new line is written is bad enough, but whatever.

You'll waste more electricity trying to solve it correctly than it will ever waste.
The real problem to solve would be: how to make GCC, Clang, etc. fast. Or how to make C++'s syntax easy and fast to work with.
When my dad saw a queue of tourist cars on a weekend around half of the ring of the capital city he said that if this really causes global warming, this must be banned immediately.
Yes. Arriving ~8:30, leaving ~15:30, working nights/weekends to make ends meet. As far as I'm the one putting my kids into their schools and taking them out at the end of the day, I am happy. I wanted to do this since I was a kid and my dad would leave to work at 06:00 and return home 18:00. Yay, psychology!
Databending. Which is applying random noise to a file in order to generate something that still decodes well, but has some weird/cool glitch. I went to a workshop about this in some underground club that no longer operates; still thinking about it and toying around from time to time. This was waaaay before Dall-E et al. were cool ways to generate quasi-crappy images.
Try taking a 1MB compressed text file (with some interesting text), cutting it in half, and replacing the second half with random numbers, then uncompress it.
It tries to decrypt the random data using the corpus built on the original data.
so the end of the file looks like:

It's definitely an overkill in terms of recreating a social network, but maybe they'll get there eventually. The @pomochat user in the chatroom seems to be the devs listening to ideas (and people are making proposals).
