Most kids I know, think social media are lame. They use it complement for their hobbies and activities. It was pandemic that glued them to their phones, not the other way around.
But must protect meh narrative!!
- easrng 5y agoHere, have an anecdote: I always spent a lot of my time online (I got Discord at 12 or 13 I think, I never got Twitter or any FB/Meta apps, but now I'm on the fediverse which is nice) and the pandemic didn't really change much other than me not having to leave the house to go to school.
- bee_rider 5y agoThe undergrads I work with don't seem to ever mention Facebook, but Discord seems pretty popular. Social media is like everything else: There's the "bad" product which has been ruined by old people and the "good" product that the hip young crowd likes. This treadmill will continue as people join networks, settle in to their preferences, and then age.
