@caseynewton also of note: our 3 kids (16, 13, 13) have actively rejected most digital "social" stuff. They love YouTube (and I don't mean the weirdo parts) and vastly prefer in-person or really positive team multiplayer games (roblox, minecraft, etc). Maybe it's the not the children who are wrong, but us?

@caseynewton it's not the infinite scroll feed that's the problem, it's the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality. Who would object to an infinite scroll feed of amazing cat and dog pictures? Why can't we treat the disease instead of the symptoms? Learninate me on this one, Casey Newton!

@codinghorror @caseynewton I’ve noticed this with my own friends
Most people I know I feel like use discord way more than proper social media
