- robben1234 3y agoSocial media is an echo chamber for people with nothing better to do that represents a tiny part of population. In real world many industries would gladly disqualify professionals from working at the first hint of screws flying loose. Especially where any threat to safety have high potential to be fatal.
- ShamelessC 3y agoI haven’t been on mainstream social media in awhile but it makes me happy to hear there’s such low stigma there. I can only assume this comes from a younger generation of people who have had to deal with unfathomable mental health issues from being raised in the internet era.
