If Pixelfed were as popular as Instagram, it would have virtually the same effect on the mental health of young girls, especially. While an advertising-based business model does influence this, it’s not the driving factor. Social comparison is in our genes, but never before have we been able to do it at this scale. This is guaranteed to have a negative effect on mental health. The issue however is not that social media is inherently bad; it’s just incompatible with the way humans behave. It’s like drugs.
Whether we reward it or not, as long as there is someone people can compare themselves to, it’s going to affect their mental health. Social media itself is a beauty competition, and the reward is attention. We tend to compare up, not down, so it doesn’t really matter how beautiful or rich someone is—there’s always someone doing even better who makes us feel insufficient.

Never had issues with them. I’ve even picked them up from the pool with bare hands and they still wont sting.
“Show of force”
We’ve been watching your show of force for few years now and it’s been unremarkable to say the least. A country without a navy has sunk your Black Sea fleet with modified jet skis. Just imagine what a country with navy could do.
Samsung XCover 6 Pro. Has a removable battery aswell.
Wont buy a smartphone without it
It’s effectively the same thing. This just does it automatically instead of the user having to toggle the feature on and off.
If only that happening once was enough to learn from our mistakes.
If I like the song then I don’t care who the artist is but if I really don’t like the artist and feel so strongly about it that I want to make a statement then I simply don’t listen to them.
I don’t mind this at all. My friends already are not interested in anything I say so I might aswell chat with the AI like I already do with chatGPT.
Lemmy definitely is by-far the best platform to keep up with what’s going on on twitter.
I feel so wise now for having landed as an user of both independently
Here’s the entire history of earth compressed into 1 hour long video. For the vast majority of it absolutely nothing happens.
No I couldn’t sit for that long. My brain would melt into goo.
I blocked the piped bot. Don’t care about the rest.
The only ads I see are physical ones on the sides of the road and in stores. All the rest I either block or manage to avoid by some other means.
