Bob K Mertz :distressedUS:<a href="https://tech.lgbt/@Lydie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Lydie</a> Years ago I compared social media to smoking (nicotine) and the more time goes on the more parallels are drawn. My generation was there first to have social media and be told about it's benefits which hardened us against hearing how negative it actually is.... Younger generations are, thankfully, starting to take those negatives to heart. I mean, they are even essentially creating non-smoking areas by designating areas and events phone-free.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Appstinence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Appstinence</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/simplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simplicity</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/addiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#addiction</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/doomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomscrolling</a>

David MegginsonYes, the world is full of horrors.No, it's not a recent change.When I was born six decades ago, many countries were still under colonial rule, homosexuality was a jailable offense, women were shut out of most careers (Black women far more so), men were legally allowed to rape their wives (in most countries), and nuclear annihilation was imminent.What white liberals are mourning is losing the ability to stay in their (our?) bubbles.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#news</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/doomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomScrolling</a>

Babu Menos 🎵 #NoAII rediscovered something I wrote in my blog about 1½ years ago. It’s something that doesn’t get old and needs constant reminding.— How Come We Always Assume the Worst in Others? —Most people are pretty decent, says Dutch historian Rutger Bregman¹, author of ‘Utopia for Realists’ (2017) and ‘Humankind’ (2020).🧵 1/2 In an eight-minute video² he explains quite plausbily how doomscrolling, using social media, watching and reading the news changes our perception of humankind. We only see all the bad things happening, which makes us quite susceptible to being persuaded of human vileness. On the other hand, if you believe in the goodness of humanity, so often you are dismissed as this naïve person who doesn’t have a realistic view of the world.But Bregman, after researching the matter, comes to the conclusion that humans are not as evil and raw as they are made out to be. An example: One of the astonishing discoveries from the second World War is that only 15 to 25 per cent of the American soldiers actually fired their guns. They had to be trained and brainwashed to be able to be more ‘effective’ during the Vietnam War.Another valid point he’s making is that science is the only self-correcting system that we have that sort of criticises itself and then develops and becomes better […] ⬇️¹ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutger_Bregman" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutger_Bregman</a> ² <a href="https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=TXN7QGGNSWk&local=true" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=TXN7QGGNSWk&local=true</a><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sociology</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psychology</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Perception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perception</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/DoomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoomScrolling</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/HumanBehaviour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanBehaviour</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/HumanNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanNature</a>

FreeSchool = W🔁rk T🔁gether☑<a href="https://qoto.org/@medigoth" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@medigoth</a> No offense. I find comments like these from the first 2 paragraphs very valid but eventually cheapen as time goes on / self-defeating IF people don't reply to others towards actual friendship.(regardless of what others like <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> etc are doing... <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/friendship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#friendship</a> / open to small co-operations).Because the other half of more which feeds Trump etc is people not able to do friendships / communication at all and excuses like "busy" or "don't trust over the internet" or "I don't know you" all covers for the lack of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/friendships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#friendships</a> and trying. People lost it basically - the practice simply to spiral out to almost as many people as possible or just 1 a week. Yeah sure do keep eye on them too and not just trust anyone but not near-0 trust which I believe is the case now and compounds / secures the self-prison.(NOTE: This might not be you especially if I haven't commented already on your quite-good stuff... or if I haven't directly messaged which I probably have since I'm following you and do that with *every single person*). ❓ I wanted to ask what you were getting back work on which you might think is better work (not to crituique (unless you ask for it) but also see what the professional / good people think is good / better than "upgrading" brains / mentality that I / a kind of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/FreeSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSchool</a> aims to do with people using them (not developing <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tech</a> for example but developing people).So anyway keep in mind it's mostly 1-way here on <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> (from all my measured real-life tests, and 0-reply posts) to simply talk to advance some of the non-doom focused stuff.)So you have the choice now with the more personal do-whatever-you-can-with-your-own-stuff-BUT-WITH-OTHERS here and now...Otherwise <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/doomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomscrolling</a> it is unless people actually accept imperfection in people and ➡️ WORK TOGETHER ⬅️ on something / almost anything >60% mutual or even random to be honest as long as someone cared enough to reply to you...(bookmark this- you'll need it unless you can keep 2-way communication going next time you feel like writing the 1st paragraph... communication).I also DON'T look less at people stuff now if they can't communicate and add notes on their account if I've tried and waht I said. People really need to get off their list of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/excuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#excuses</a> and have <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/time" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#time</a> to write x10 posts about Trump/Musk/Zuckerberg/Bezos/etc or own long posts complaining, but not enough for a paragraph back to a real person or even fan and what they can see from their posts in others...Said with peace in mind but battling with humanity's mindwork first... :ms_broadsword: 🧠 📈 <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/FreeSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSchool</a>
