Here’s what I did one time. While going through Facebook, I read out loud a summary of all of the content I was scrolling through one by one, regardless of if it was post or an ad. I’m not sure why I did it, but it kind of makes you see how much information your brain actually processes in a short amount of time while “mindlessly” scrolling. No wonder we feel mentally drained.

I deleted my twitter back in 2017. I had FOMO for awhile but realized how self conscious and anxious it made me feel seeing everyone else’s perceived “success.” I actually started to believe that twitter was representative of how most people in the world felt and lived their lives particularly in regards to politics. Years later I believe it was one of the most pivotal decisions I made in regard to my own relationship and personal happiness. It is insane to think about how much of an impact those thoughts and feelings that came from constantly scrolling had subtly changed the way I was living my life.

I refuse to be on social media 24/7 and I cannot say how many times people have gotten irritated or mad at me simply because I answer them when I want to. I turn off notifications and when I am in the mood to do it, I do it. The rest of the time I read, write, exercise. etc. I do things that make me feel happy and healthy.

Yay!!! I'm Social Media free too I guess. Utube isn't social media according to Joe.😂😂

Great conversations that need to be had.

I think the biggest problem for kids especially is that kids typically feel pretty isolated and misunderstood. And it's really easy to turn to social media to find a group of people who "understand" you. But that group of people is usually going to be toxic af, probably even containing more than a few child predators. Parents think their kids are just talking to friends. But when their phone buzzes, it actually could be and probably is, someone they don't even know irl sending obscene material that they aren't emotionally mature enough to handle yet. You literally have 15yr old kids sending nudes in group chats with strangers. So it really shapes their development in a dark way, probably leading to a lot of the systemic problems we see in our youth rn.

The rise of short form media on EVERY app now was a seriously bad turn for people’s attention span/addictions.

It is scary how social media is a norm... and actual socializing is weird.

Cool thing about KZread is you can dive into one particular focus and stay there. You can to a good extent dictate what you're exposed to and consume. Whereas social media you're regularly exposed to stuff you may rather avoid. But still, KZread should have a settings option where you can choose what sort of content the Algo recommends you.

I absorb so much info and knowledge on KZread… it’s not really social because you can’t have running convos with people (at least not easily)… it’s easy enough to avoid dumpster fires on YT… not so much on FB, Twitter or Insta

finally, you get a guest with some functioning grey matter.

Brad Huddleston would be an epic person to talk about social media and the dangers of it. He's done so much research and is going from school to school to enlighten children and their parents about the dangers of it.
