Bold of you to assume there is a healthy form of doom scrolling.

I definitely don't think, that federation is a cure for unhealthy social media. You can waste time here too.

organic food for your brain

High quality, positive content boosts mental health

Browsing shallow memes and political outrage here is basically just home-made junk food instead of store-bought junk food. Likely less unhealthy, but that's not exactly eating a bowl of vegetables lol - that would perhaps be reading a book or something. Not a great fit for the comparison imo.

(as an aside, it seems plausible that junk food in small quantities as part of a balanced diet might boost mental health vs strictly never indulging)

TBH, I think this is a little counterproductive. It makes corporate social media seem like a delicious treat. Exhorting people to do the right thing like "eat your veggies" probably isn't the best way to convince them. Something like this seems like a better comparison. Something bad for you and gross, but uses flashy marketing to convince you otherwise:

i mean... a lot of the content on the fediverse is literally just lifted straight from the other "junk food" social media websites that were just named.

its just a federated experience. not a "healthy" one. I'm all for moving more people over to the fediverse but let's maybe take it down a couple notches with the weird propaganda-esque ads?

Well moderated

🤣

You should cross post this to /c/propagandaposters

Not gonna lie, I'd still love to eat that donut.

Should've used one of those photos of McDonald's where they look at an ad for a menu item and then show a sad photo of the real thing.

I wish my app would give an option to have pages rather than an infinite feed.

I agree with the issues others have raised but I also question directing people first to Mastodon?

Organic food is a scam.

I've got news for you: Many people from other places don't particularly like xenophiliacs treating them like zoo animals.

Many of those who do play along with it are trying to get something out of you. Shitty people exist everywhere.

I am someone who kinda tries to live a more healthy lifestyle, if somebody tells me there is something that is good for my health i expect some scientific research to provide evidence of that. the health industry does provide things that have no scientific evidence that they are effective (so called "big placebo" companies).
