…and do you think that you posting it has a positive, neutral or negative effect on the world?
By content I mean what ever you’re posting online. The pictures you post on Instagram/Pixelfed or messages you’re writing on Lemmy, YouTube comment section, Facebook and so on.
If you look back at what you have posted in the past year for example, do you consider it to be the kind of content that you would gladly consume if it was coming from someone else? If not, then why are you posting it in the first place?
“She’s hot, but really ought to keep it on the DL for me to enjoy and no one else to see because think of the children”.
What a weird little humble brag while also putting down your girlfriend and blaming her for broader society’s behavior. If she’s not lying, advocating for unhealthy habits or trends, encouraging parasocial relationships, or spreading misinformation, she’s not the problem.
I hope that’s not the only lens you see the world through. I don’t think anybody else saw that comment the way you did.
Multiple upvotes on my comment indicates I’m not the only one tired of Boomer “shit on my partner” humor.
What’s up with the quotation marks when you just came up with that “quote” yourself? I don’t feel the need to defend views I don’t hold.
But if you don’t thoughtfully respond to every strawman, then the internet WINS!
Now what were we talking about? Something about how content impacts us or what?
If you look at the Trump candidacy and things like qanon, it’d be hard to argue that the internet isn’t making inroads. My generation let this go on for long enough, it’s not about the lulz anymore. Lots of people are getting hurt, and it can still get worse.
