In 2022 nearly half of Americans expected a civil war in the next few years, one in five now believes political violence is justified. And it is not just the US but around the world. People increasingly see themselves as part of opposing teams.

There are many different reasons for this, but one gets blamed a lot: social media. Social media divides us, makes us more extreme and less empathetic, it riles us up or sucks us into doom scrolling, making us stressed and depressed. It feels like we need to touch grass and escape to the real world.

New research shows that we might have largely misinterpreted why this is the case. It turns out that the social media internet may uniquely undermine the way our brains work but not in the way you think.

The most annoying thing is being acutely aware of all of this and seeing it happen without any agency whatsoever.

My mom always taught me that it's no one person's responsibility to fix the world, but it's everyone's responsibility to not make it worse.

The curse of the internet is having to know what I don't need to know, and be angry abouth things I don't need to be angry about.

This is why I deleted Tik Tok and Instagram, only kept snapchat to message friends and only use youtube for informational videos. Once I started spending my time reading, going outside and practicing self care, I found self love and feel smarter.

I can't believe my nostalgia for the old internet is actually justified I miss when each website catered to a niche. It made it so much easier to interact with higher quality content and creations.

I think the worst thing about social media is when you begin to realize how narcissistic and egotistical people become when they're behind a screen. You ironically see more flaws in humanity despite only seeing people's highlight reels.

i think another problem is how, during covid, the internet/social media switched from being something we all use when we want to use it to being something we're all dependent on for work, school, communicating with others, etc. i honestly feel like everything becoming more convenient by being able to do it all on the internet has kinda changed how we live everyday life for the worse

Had this problem when I was stuck inside for a few years and didn't really socialize IRL. Then when I got a job and talked to a lot of people I was extremely pleasantly surprised that people are actually normal. Being perpetually online, or even just thinking that the online world is representative of the real one, is such a hellish trap, and you might not even realize it.

I find it absolutely bizarre that parents are willing to put an iPad or phone in a baby's face and let them scroll endlessly through TikTok. I genuinely worry about what this effect will have on future generations.

This is why debate is so important. Logic and reason combined with perspective is the way forward. Looking at both sides of the same veiw.

Deleted all my social media off my phone. Deleted YouTube as an app. I still have access to it, but I force myself to have to hop on my computer in order to see what I want to. Works like a charm, I’m happier and now I have more time for the things I’m interested in.

I'm glad someone is acknowledging this. Exploring the internet has become more stressful and discouraging to me lately because of people' behavior and attitude, and all the negativity, propaganda, and algorithmic curation that's constantly being pushed.

A drama is currently unfolding in a fandom i love, and i am of the opinion that is widely considered the "wrong one" within that drama. All the fighting and all the opinions were genuinely stressing me out so much... And i don't think YouTube could have recommended me a better video. It genuinely resonates with me so much. Maybe it's because it gives me a logical reason as to WHY I'm so upset about this... But it's like I'm getting closure. So, thanks for making me feel slightly better about this whole thing.

I remember loving forums or sites with "affiliate" banners, you could jump site to site! Social media was a mistake

Spot on! The internet truly embodies a mix of blessing and curse, all rolled into one. It’s a perfect example of how something can be so incredibly useful and yet so challenging at the same time.
