I think its not just kids anymore, it's adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from "social" media and don't have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.

I feel sorry for all the kids who grow up their entire lives under the influence of social media. There has to be a stronger effort to shield children from these platforms and it definitely starts from the parents. Especially with these "iPad" kids--just glued to their screens all day! What would the attention spans of this generation in the future be like?

I feel like a better approach would be to work on making social media a better place. It doesn't have to be an attention span hell, and it can be a nice toolfor socializing.

People don't even take it seriously it seems.

~~social media~~

An anonymous forum without any shitty algorithm.

without any shitty engagement algorithm.

There, fixed it for you—the extra word is important. Algorithms are evil only if used for the wrong purposes.

Technically lemmy has lots of algorithms. It wouldn't work without any

Lemmy is far from anonymous.

What do you think an algorithm is?

Tbf they did say shitty, none of the ones built into Lemmy exist to feed you advertisements in the most efficient manner, as far as I know.
