Spare me the buzzwords. Doomscrolling is horribly addictive and ruins attention spans. There’s a proliferation of news/propaganda sites worldwide that are shared uncritically. Bot vote manipulation creates a false reality. Ads masquerade as opinion posts. Foreign actors locked behind monitored firewalls participate in open free speech discussions.
The list goes on and on. Don’t point to brain cancer to defend thyroid cancer.

The core issue with social media isnt the medium its the platforms and how they influence user behaviour.
On the fediverse there does exist some of the same issues as Instagram etc but instead of the platform working to keep the user in this cycle of negative feedback and behaviour the fediverse gives the user the tools and even encourages the user to use in a healthier manner. Examples being settings to toggle inf scroll, content warning, keyword filtering, chronological feed, no ads, no UI Dark Patterns.
