#Instagram, #TikTok, #Youtube short video formats in context of their #UX #darkpatterns are the new #cigarette. Each short video releases sweet, sweet #dopamine without end or safety measurements. The drug dealers of those content platforms abuse users in search for connection and escapism for their own capitalistic and political agenda.

Want a better night’s sleep? Limit your #DoomScrolling before bed! A growing body of research suggests that how often people use social media before bed – and how engaged they are in it – matters more than how long they are on screens as a whole when it comes to getting restful sleep. Social psychologist and sleep researcher Brian N. Chin, from Trinity College, explains that emotionally stimulating content can lead to greater arousal that delays the onset of sleep. Small behavioral changes, such as avoiding doomscrolling and leaving your phone outside your bedroom at night, can help you get more sleep, he writes. #sleep #sleeping #SocialMedia #PersonalCare #anxiety

The GuardianToday was a bad day in a smaller, more manageable kind of way than the days when I'm just #doomscrolling, looking at #awful happenings everywhere.
I know the current awful #happenings, so near me, will pass.

@publicvoit@graz.social#SocialNetworks that are fed by an #algorithm are causing much harm to you. Just one example of many: https://karl-voit.at/2024/07/13/social-network-filters/
Please do convince your friends and relatives to try out a healthy alternative like the #Fediverse here: https://karl-voit.at/2024/06/18/Fediverse-and-Mastodon/
When you visit your friends and family, tell them about not having #endlessscrolling or #doomscrolling. Tell them about being able to read unfiltered comments and articles. Tell them about not destroying your mental health all the time, following some #influencers that show a wrong picture of the world and the people.
Accounts on servers like https://graz.social are for free. (Donations welcomed: https://info.graz.social/spenden/ )
Have a happy weekend!

Social Networks Are Lying to Manipulate You
public voit - Web-page of Karl VoitKennt ihr so #Leute, denen immer eine virtuelle schwarze Wolke über (oder im?) Kopf schwebt? Die nur Negatives und Ablehnung äußern? Das personifizierte #Doomscrolling ?
Jep. Mit genau so jemandem habe ich gerade Stunden meines Lebens verbringen müssen. Das kostet so viel Kraft und Energie.
Hat jemand hier etwas Aufhellendes, Positives, #GoodNews, #GoodVibes für mich? Bitte?!
"I hate #vibes-based reasoning, because of the kind of thinking that it elevates. It elevates the comms spad over the #macroeconomist, the reader-of-headlines over the #modeller, the use of a finger in the air over a solid think about the vast, hard-to-move #economy."

Freethinking EconomistSome of my friends have just given up on following the #news, and I don't blame them. It can be pretty depressing right now.
But for me, what keeps me up-to-date-enough but stops me #doomScrolling is to lean on my good old #feedReader (coupled with a little discipline to not glance at the news every time I remember my phone's in my pocket)!
I read the news once, maybe twice, most days, as a bundled digest of mildly-filtered articles. Like taking the time to sit down with a newspaper... but no other interruptions.
It keeps me optimistic enough that I can still focus on the causes I care about the most, without getting bogged down in all the depressing news about nazis burning the world that I'd see otherwise. Highly recommended.
More: Spouse still #DoomScrolling, when do we get to watch #Severance? I've asked twice, just got a "hmm umm" reply.
@JL_Lycette@mindly.socialThis is your sign to stop #doomscrolling and get some #rest
@liztai@hachyderm.ioWhat content do you replace the #doomscrolling content in your feed?
What content just makes you happy and calm?
Me: Anything about #Obsidian #Cats #Dogs #Cooking #Notebooks #DigitalGardens #Gardening #Cdrama and #Birds
How about you?
Ps: I am looking for peacescrolling content too, like this one below

@rl_dane@polymaths.socialOk, yep.
Two minutes of scrolling on reddit (via redlib, obvs.), and I'm ready to nuke the planet.
Guy... stop #DoomScrolling. It's gonna melt your mind. :'(
