minus-squareHolytimes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·14 hours agoHonestly could we just ban most forms of new social media? Shit is toxic to the health of not just kids but also adults. We did fine before facebook, twitter and tiktok existed. Let’s go back to Myspace, personal websites, tumblr and random forums!
