The chronically online will become a new underclass. Says (ya girl) DJ Magic. Funny, I remember when most people weren't online, everyone was rushing to get online, and there were worries everywhere of lower class people not being able to get online and getting left behind. Now, we may have reached a point where that goes into reverse.

So-called manfluencers wearing smart glasses approach women and then post videos to TikTok and Instagram.

"Then there are experiments, with random assignment, that show that if you get off social media for at least a week depression gets less."

Curious to know how "social media" is being defined here. People are clearly being negatively impacted by *something*. But it is being online, having a pocket PC, or using apps? Or is it being manipulated by algorithms, and force fed ads that engage by being irritating?

Ariel schwingt sich selbst zur moralischen Instanz des Camps auf, Ofarim hüllt sich weiter in nebulöse Sätze und Eva gibt Fehler zu. Es ist erst Tag 2 im Dschungel, doch die Camper glühen bereits ordentlich vor und packen schon jetzt die traurigsten Geschichten aus. Was erzählen sie an Tag 10? Leute, verschießt nicht gleich all eure Munition!#Unterhaltung #RTLplus #SocialMedia #RTL #Dschungelcamp #TV #Reality-TV

The great thing about my experience on Mastodon is that trolling from people/bots habituated to the far right X mentality stands out as really odd.

Before I dumped X, several years ago, it was such a norm to get baiting, trolling snipey comments. The platform was an unhealthy sewer for the brain. Moving to Mastodon was like airing the room at last and getting fresh mountain air.

So if that kind of message arrives now, it gets identified immediately for the sewer rat rubbish it is, and I know there is zero point in engaging with it beyond an initial correction only for other readers and myself. This is exactly how I relate to the dark personality disorders when I encounter them in real life. I know there is zero point in trying to engage or reason with them. They feed on others making that waste of energy, bid to be understood, and any angst they cause.
Rigid boundaries and disengagement are the best way.
