I am sorry I didn’t realize this was an echo chamber where you can only voice validating and approving opinions.

I mainly think banning SM is better than trying age verification or some other way to exclude children. If it is 99% toxic trash then it should just be banned.

Next in line is 99% of all porn, which is also toxic trash. If one applies the same logic as previously, then it should be banned too.

Unregulated use of morphine (heroine) is bad, thus we ban it.

It is interesting though how strongly you react to porn specifically getting banned. Maybe you should reflect on that.

Don’t worry, neither porn or social media will ever get banned :) but the fact that you react so negatively to it should perhaps make you reflect upon your own habits, the way people using social media should reflect upon theirs.

I have been pro banning all for-profit social media for years. I can live without Reddit. Especially now with Lemmy and fediverse. I can even live with no social media whatsoever. We should probably ban all porn too. It is just as brain rotting as social media. I say this as someone who does watch porn. I can live without it if society gets better from banning it.

It can be both. I am certain that there isn’t one explanation for it. What i describe is the feedback loop. What you describe is the initial conditions. Combined they spell disaster.

This is why we have so much tribalism, polarization and extremism today too though. People find their information bubble, gets validated for the shit they say (i.e. emotional support), feel good about it so they post more and more extreme shit and validate (give emotional support) to others in the bubble.

Now you have an extremist movement. Getting emotional support/validation from strangers on the internet is not always a good thing. Even if it makes you feel less anxious. Some people should feel anxious about the things they think about.

Roses are red and violets are blue, You have been misled, for that isn’t true

True, but it is oh so satisfying when bad things happen to shitty people. Especially people finding out the true depth of their shitty. Even more satisfying when they complain about it.

You and me both, kitty. You and me both…

It’s the most adorable ship in my opinion 😆

Wow I didn’t actually expect you to create one. Thanks!

This is great and all, but where is my Linny community? They are seriously the best ship!
