@cully45 +1 to that or at least make them justify their argument and let others put their argument against the use of these books before a judge.

It seems to me that social media behaviour is only as good or bad as the users on there.

If I was the school bully, at osme time I would comment on your appearance to your face.

Social media simply lets that person do the same thing hiding behind a screen and a fake name in some cases.

It makes no difference how those comments are made they are equally as hurtful and long lasting.

I did a course on the effects of this, one suggestion to understand the effects is to take a sheet of paper, screw it up tight in a ball then unfold.

the paper is creased, those creases you can't get rid if, just as you can't undo the damage caused by those nasty comments.

@cully45 Good idea, do you have any national charities who deal with this.

There is

Who may be more useful in the US, as I think Banadoes are just UK based (however they may have branches in other commonwealth countries)

You need to start conversations

I can't comment on these, as they were a result of a duck duck go search

Perhaps these would be a more appropriate alternative.

Losing to TikTok and snapchat.

So question is what can fedi learn from this ?

@alienghic @humanetech @gert

Given the treatment of teachers in the UK on TikTok it seems social media in general is bad for mental health.

All these platforms are designed to draw you in , keep you fed with content so you stay.

Fedi does not have the AI for that, so we are able to respond to a single comment or have a conversation without some AI deciding we need more of x and less of y.

@cully45

Interesting as we have a TV series here in the UK called Holby city (Hospital Drama series), one of the story lines recently centred around child trafficking & sexual abuse.

If this sort of storyline helps one person come forward and seek help then it is worth running.

However storylines such as this, also carry a BBC action line helpline number after the program for anyone affected by the content.

Holby city is not a program made for or aimed at children, so again kinda different as the books being referred to clearly are.

It is a shame we can't get people on fedi who work to help victims, so I will just include the link again.

I am sure they could offer some insight in to how we should handle this topic.

@SleebyElf @dsfgs @publicvoit

I would rather find different viewpoints from different people who have expertise in their field. Peer review process is there for a reason, and why this process should be robust.

Having studied science you read different arguments and form conclusion from that evidence.

Then form conclusions.

@icedquinn @dsfgs @publicvoit @Alex

They should investigate how France / UK / EU have handled migration, allowed people smuggling to run out of control and how this causes more misery for the victims of it.

While they play political ping pong for point scoring people are dying or have died.

@natecull not sure but you are with like minded people here so we can probably at least come up with a few ideas.

@YeetLibs

I don't really get this.

@publicvoit What if you are unvaxxed for a medical reason ?

I am vaxxed btw
