lol I absolutely agree that TikTok style content is a major contributing factor in mental unwellness (and there's scientific data supporting that) but you have to understand that is what the majority of people are looking for. and it's not going away, at least not any time soon, and probably not from any top-down actions of coordinated governance. we gotta accept the reality that like AI it's part of our world now.
with that said, hey, the parent comment makes a pretty good case for why normies dont federate
it seems daunting to join Lemmy, and without the catalyst forcing you to you never would have joined, right? and that's probably going to be the default exp for most normies?
I wonder how the rates of violent crimes suffered by asians in Americas/Europe compare to violent crimes suffered by white people in China, Korea, or Japan...
remember when covid happened and asians were gettin jumped every week? when's the last time we heard about a white guy getting beat up in Asia? maybe getting scammed/pick-pocketed in southeast asia or getting caned in Singapore during the Clinton era?
I'm not saying asian people don't have bigotry or ignorance, but it plays out very differently
