Did social media radicalize you? - Lowkey - Oct 4, 2025
Have you allowed social media to influence the way that you think be it political or otherwise and if not, why do you think you are the only person immune to the content?

I think everyone is influenced a little, me included, so I just try to stay aware of it.

I try to ensure that social media has as little influence as possible on my decision-making in every area of my life. I believe this is a healthy approach, and I am increasingly aware of how strongly the media can influence our way of thinking.

Do you know or understand the science of why it affects you regardless of how much screentime you give it?

I think that knowledge of these mechanisms has had a significant impact on the content I consume, but not necessarily on the amount of time I spend in front of the screen. Unfortunately, the second thing is difficult for me 😅

The issue is weather or not it affects you the way you think it does regardless of screentime (was what I was trying to get at here)

No, it has irritated me watching others become radicalized.
RE: Did social media radicalize you? - Oh_Well - Oct 5, 2025
Yes, especially during election time I can see it changing me and making me think in ways I don't want to.
I'm trying to control it but sometimes it just gets under your skin

If you live on twitter you'd think every day is the final day.
Nukes are coming, UFO's, etc. etc.
People that actively use twitter need to get a job.
