In an opinion piece in the The New York Times, Dr. Vivek Murthy said that social media is a contributing factor in the mental health crisis among young people.
And right here is why I will never be on board with this idea. You don’t want to make people better at using the tech or companies to do a better job with it, you want your revenge on them. It isn’t about being greater it is about constraining success.
And now you are backtracking. You didn’t say that in your previous comment what you did argue for was finding ways to hurt social media companies. Not able to support your revenge viewpoint you make it more diplomatic.
You don’t like Meta? Ok, I don’t care or blame you. No one has to like anything. But you can stop pretending that you suddenly care about people hurt by that company when you post a screed about your revenge fantasies.
As I said, it isn’t about making things better it is about hurting something you don’t personally like.
Yeah this is basically the older generation vs video games, the one before that against movies, etc, etc…
As people age they resent the world changing, they assume everything different is bad because it’s easier to accept than the thought of aging into irrelevance.
Lemmy is full of people knee-jerk hating anything new; social media, ai, and every new thing younger generations do. It’s dumb but people are often so.
Hate aging. I get to see the worst shitty behaviors they elderly did when I was a kid being imitated unironically by the new crop of elderly. No self-awareness and no ability to learn. It’s depressing, like watching the same personal mistakes being repeated forever.
Right @moon@lemmy.ml ? You remember being a kid and that old dude you knew screaming about skateboarding, right?
I am shocked that no genocides existed before Facebook! And for someone who now claims they want regulation I find it interesting that you wrote a screaming rant about wanting to break them up. Were you lying then or lying now?
Yeah it’s funny because they give themselves away so easily by refusing to admit positive social and personal effects and magnifying absurd arhuments against.
Like the other reply I always see them push the genocide ones, of course if you get into details they freak out because the accusation is kinda stupid - lemmy by design couldn’t do the thing they say Facebook should to have stopped the genocide so if you believe it’s valid and use lemmy you’d be being super hypocritical - but of course they don’t care, they’re reaching for criticism not actually trying to understand it.
It’s kinda scary really how little people care about reality, it’s the same thing on Facebook with the boomer conspiracy stuf, phones bad, kids not manly, and all that stuff. They’re not looking for truth or trying to make the world better, they’re trying to find excuses to feel superior.

Honestly, I didn’t care much for the first season, so I didn’t bother with the second.

If you don’t like toenails, you probably shouldn’t look at your feet.
Not one word about helping people. Not a single word
Continue to lie

Sorry, you should ask for your money back grandpa.
