Just abandon social media, I cannot think of a single positive thing that could possibly come close to outweighing the incredible harm it can cause us, collectively and individually

Yet you’re still here…

Likely not for long. I’m sure I’ll be banned from this instance within 90 days lol

[–] PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My point remains. You’re advising people to leave social media voluntarily while not doing so yourself.

I mean, that doesn’t make the point any less of a good one.

I tell my kids not to use drugs or drink all the time. Guess what I do?
