SocialMedia is part of your daily diet - so why not make it healthy?

Corporate platforms feed you ads, algorithms, and infinite scroll designed to keep you hooked on junk food. The #Fediverse is different:

✅ No ads, no algorithms ✅ Real communities run by real people ✅ Diverse cultures and positive content

Stop feeding on junk. Switch to something organic!

Bold of you to assume there is a healthy form of doom scrolling.

Exactly. To extend the junk food analogy, this is like making donuts from scratch in your own kitchen: customized to your preferences, maybe tastes better, but ultimately you’re still making a mess in your kitchen and eating unhealthy.

Not gonna lie, I’d still love to eat that donut.

Should’ve used one of those photos of McDonald’s where they look at an ad for a menu item and then show a sad photo of the real thing.

I am someone who kinda tries to live a more healthy lifestyle, if somebody tells me there is something that is good for my health i expect some scientific research to provide evidence of that. the health industry does provide things that have no scientific evidence that they are effective (so called “big placebo” companies).

I’ve got news for you: Many people from other places don’t particularly like xenophiliacs treating them like zoo animals.

Many of those who do play along with it are trying to get something out of you. Shitty people exist everywhere.

Is this in response to the “diverse cultures” part?

Yes. You don’t actually get to explore other cultures, you just get a bastardized, commodified version of it. The commodification of cultures for global dissemination is destroying unique cultures around the globe. It’s a massive humanitarian crisis, but it gets a free pass in the eyes of the western public because they get to eat tasty food and make pithy comments online directed towards people they hate. Xenophilia is a cancer.

High quality positive content

It took 3 hours and we already got to gatekeeping culture.

I recognize that issue but I don’t need necessarily read the example on OP, as exemplifying that.

Disclaimer: I’m a white North American (ergo no culture) so I’m open to discussing this further as I’d like to hear your experience.
