For what you’re describing in your edit:
!politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
and maybe
Just searching across instances for the most general keywords of what you want to post. In this case: “military”, “politic”, “relations” and reading the rules/description of the communities.
Also, I’d say it’s pretty healthy for lemmy to post in communities without much/any activity yet. You’d be one of the first/few to breath life into them to grow.
I feel like it’s more important than ever to partition/set-up feeds to only see politics when one wants to.
Absolute madness. The really bad kind.
Very well put. Thank you.
It has changed a lot. It’s no longer just magazines, or getting a physical copy of a DVD. It’s plastered over the internet a few clicks away, with even more brainwashy algorithms to keep people coming back.
This is a big difference from the perspective of addiction psychology.
Why the rise? Maybe because an entire generation grew up with this kind of porn, maybe because there are therapists for this now and it’s not as stigmatized.
Maybe with the male loneliness epidemic it’s even more amplified, esp. for misogynists or cluster c men.
Maybe because porn has also been more normalized with PornHub merch, adverts and giftcards.
Really, I feel like if there’s a genuine interest to know, one can just start searching the web for porn addiction papers, etc.
Or to argue the point of propaganda, look at the BACP, and other parties mentioned in the article and consider how much sense it makes after.
FWIW the only thing that raises my eyebrows in the article is that they want the government to look at the problem. Expected to a degree from an org like BACP, but they aren’t going to invest in community resources. to help with understanding and support first and foremost, and then hold platforms accountable like they should game platforms with lootboxes and such etc… So I’d give them more credit if they offered the direct ways to help the problem. As the government, without direction only seems to know punish, block, ban.
Food for thought, I’m off to sleep and over and out.
I understand the suspicion, but this seems pretty unreasonable. The arguments are scientific and credible. Or are you saying there isn’t a rise in people seeking help for problematic porn use?
There can be problematic porn use and bullshit government overreach hijacking an existing problem, both existing in parallel.
I’ve been trying to get that to work before posting but failed. I get it now. Thank you! :)
