    i know people love to shit on tiktok and a lot of it is fucking garbage, but there’s also little nuggets of incredible gold on there. i’ve gotten so many game changing little hacks from there

    PLUS what makes it really unique imo is how immersive video is – it allows for so much more frank discussion and normalization of mental illness when you can see the person and hear their voice. i’ve personally found so many great videos on like adult loneliness and coping with being alone – and it’s so wonderful to experience, seeing real, normal looking people going thru it with you, instead of the implication everyone is a sad loser gaming in the dark or whatever

      @_number8_ @db0 there are nuggets but you’ve got to wade through so much garbage to find it. By garbage I mean that crap you didn’t ask for and the people that think they have helpful #ADHD information, but they don’t. By my own fault, I use it as a dopamine slot machine at night and can lose 3 hours like nothing. So I had to take it off my phone.
