John SimpsonI’ve ranted about these sorts of things before but this shit trying to shame neurodivergent people into being more useful to capitalism is getting out of hand. Ad was on instagram but I refuse to mention the company.
⁂Krafty⁂ #NoKings@thracky thing is, coding is an actually good skill to have even if you don't use it for a job and scrolling most social media already makes you beneficial to capitalism so I'm not sure what your argument is...
@tkk13909 because “mindless” scrolling is often a good decompression method for neurodivergent people. The solution to meltdowns, shutdowns, and burnout due to trying to exist in a neurotypical, capitalist hellscape is not “make ‘better’ use of your free time by learning coding on our platform.”
The obsession with having to be “productive” at all times is horrifying.
@thracky I think the key word in the ad is "addiction". If you are addicted to scrolling social media, it has a negative effect on your mind. I say this as someone who is definitely more sedentary than I should be but mindlessly scrolling should never be a go-to emotional regulation tool.
