It sure does for me, and I’ll be dead before the oceans start to boil. The more they know about the world the harder it is to have hope.

As social media isn’t going anywhere, the user needs to bear the responsibility of controlling their own feed. For example, you could subscribe to !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world and follow #bloomscrolling on Pixelfed. The internet just loves to give you anything and everything, so it’s up to you to pick and choose.

Alternatively, we can fix the problems in the world that actually are making the kids depressed.
No? We would rather just make it harder for them to see the injustice?
Ok…

It’s not social media. It’s the state of the world. It’s the news that everything is fucked and nothing we can do about it. It’s just social media is a way to know about what fucked up shit is going on, not social media it self.

I think there is a certain amount of social media that is itself the problem.
Like, trolls and rage baiters are a menace; not to mention social media is often an assault on nuance.
Memes are still really popular but they undercut serious discussion … and often just make noise about depressing shit without even the inkling of answers to the problems they comment on.
