I started using the app a few weeks back. I try to always limit the length of my browsing sessions to avoid losing too much time.
I also have dedicated accounts for different types of content (movies and shows, language learning, parenting, history, etc.) so that I still maintain some kind of focus.
Also the Revanced version helps with no ads and limited tracking compared to the original version.
The best would be a Fediverse alternative, I know there is https://goldfish.social/ but it still seems in an early stage, hopefully it will get more mature in the future.
It is a tool, like Lemmy or any other platform is.
If an education specialist creates some content there, and references established research to back up their claims, what is the issue?
A niche example is multilingual parenting, where there are very interesting people debunking stereotypes on teaching your child two languages at the same time
