Replying to @JubalBarca@scholar.social
@JubalBarca@scholar.social @LeonianUniverse@leonianplace.masto.host I have been kicking around the idea of social media literacy training, possibly a parent/child one, as a better solution to this combined with stricter guidelines about moderation. Around 2012-ish Channel 4 made this Flash game called Smokescreen that allowed you to see harmful behaviours on social media demonstrated in a safe environment. A more modern equivalent is probably long overdue.

@mtconleyuk@mastodonapp.uk @fesshole@mastodon.social I had a similar experience. Two men came round and said "Do you ever vote Conservative at all?" and I replied "Never. No way, no how." and they left looking rather sheepish as the dog barked at them. I wound up voting for my current Green MP. If Reform came round I would be rather less civil.

@garretguy@cr8r.gg @alicemcalicepants@ohai.social @carnage4life@mas.to I believe this is called the "Brussels effect" - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect

@TMangnall@mstdn.social @alistaircoleman@mastodon.social There was a thread on the bird site a while back where someone said without a trace of irony that "Elon was coding in BASIC at 10" as if that was some kind of mark of a Godlike genius. I grew up towards the tail end of the 8 bit era and as I recall half my school was doing that.
