But the fact that it's not easy is a good thing. The hard thing to do is usually the right thing to do. Dealing with the negative hardship is a positive experience in the end, and avoiding the negative hardship is worse than the hardship itself.

That actually sounds like you're not doing well at all.

TikTok DOES have videos of interesting, cool, fun, and even educational things. If the algorithm has you on garbage, it's because of what you watch.

I'm not an alcoholic and I'm not addicted to TikTok because I watch it at the airport.

I'm 37 with 2 kids. Sometimes I watch short form videos to kill time when bored. I'm aware of the fact that it's not great for me. I also drink too much caffeine.

Does vigilantism and baiting child predators seem immoral to you? (lemmy.world)

I keep seeing videos lately of grown men posing as children online and baiting individuals to public spaces and either assaulting them or recording/exposing them for content. While I don't mind the idea of a predator being outed, the idea of grown adults posing as children online seems unsavory to me. Especially if their end goal isn't to protect children, and is to provide content for views.

Obviously, being a child predator is wildly immoral and illegal and their actions are not what's being debated.
