That’s cool, still not gonna consume short form media. Idk why people with the desire to have healthy online habits would appreciate this new product. It’ll be slopped with politics and AI in no time like Lemmy is already suffering from.

People don’t want an addicting, toxic, alienating, depressing, billionaire-owned platform.

They want a addicting, toxic, alienating, depressing, non-billionaire-owned platform … Apparently.

Is it so wrong to want to watch a funny video from time to time on the bus? IMO the best thing about loops, piefed or whatever is that there’s so little on here that you can open your app of choice for about 30 minutes to an hour and then be done for the week.

Is it so wrong to just take a little hit of heroin from time to time?

Short form content is actively making people dumber, causing speech impediments in kids by cause their parents and themselves are addicted to the dopamine hit of scrolling.

Are you going to ban alcohol as well because that’s a neurotoxin?

Maybe you put down the pop science magazine for five seconds and understand that a single study, or even five studies, does not a consensus make. You sound like moms against video games or whatever the hell like it was called it back in the 2000s.

Also, great job completely ignoring the point about non-incorporated vectors for engaging with short form videos don’t have enough content for you to continuously scroll.

Not sure about OP, but I think that yes, end goal should be banning alcohol consumption completely.

Yeah, the fact that it’s so normalized in society makes me sick.

Because the rest of prohibition has been going so great? jfc.

The last thing that I want is you authoritarian wackos continuing to come for the internet.

Is it so wrong to make an absurd, pseudo-scientific claim that’s literally destroying the internet?

Don’t know what kind of work you do, but I work with people, my partner works with kids. Short form content is absolutely ravaging minds. But you can believe whatever you want.

Fact is, we see kids that are and aren’t raised with access to short form content on social media, and the ones without do a whole lot better.

Speech impediments are getting worse for a reason (the parents have a role in this too, if your around a kid, keep your damn phone in your pocket and talk to the poor thing).

But again, you do you. You can claim its pseudo-science all you want when your kids end up needing a speech therapist and need medication just to finish an old movie 🤙
