Exposing children to social media.
Putting your kids on social media publicly.
The kids that grew up with it will probably see the harm caused and not want to pass that on.
I agree with you fundamentally. How do you feel about social media that is decentralized, open source, and non-corporate like Lemmy, Friendica, Pixelfed, et? I think these decentralized platforms are much less toxic because toxic people quickly get banned and shared with others. Furthermore, I think that with proper education of what social media is and what the positives and negatives are - including adverse consequencies - could be very beneficial. When social media is done in a positive way, it can be a great way to build friendships and exchange ideas and information. That much said the corporate social media is awful and in no way would I want to subject children to it as it could set them up for psychological trauma with real and lasting consequences to their mental health.
This isn't social media. I don't know you and I can't pretend to know you. This is a discussion board/ bulletin board/ forum dressed in new clothes, and I'm cool with that.
