New meta-analysis of experiments of social media use reduction finds no evidence that reducing social media use improves mental wellness: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello Bluesky! It feels like the old
Community needs might be met here. I think that’s a positive move, I know I’ve felt the gap caused by the shift on other platforms and now by “you know who”. Looking forward to (re)creating new connections!
