I'll spend 4.8 years of my remaining life on screen, and my daily screen time is around 2 hrs 30 min. How much of your life are you losing? regroundd.app/calculator The average person spends 6 to 7 hours per day on their screen. Imagine such a waste of life

@Wechta @AlexAndBooks_ Thanks, you are right. :)

@regroundd @AlexAndBooks_ You mean this, that’s ok: Understands why you're scrolling — boredom, anxiety, loneliness, habit — and responds differently each time. Offers real-world alternatives backed by clinical psychology. Not generic tips. Personalised to you. Put it on the top front 😉

This is crazy: According to TikTok's own internal records, short-form content is so powerful that: "In under 35 minutes, an average user is likely to become addicted to the platform." I imagine the same is true for IG Reels and YouTube Shorts. No wonder everyone has brainrot.

@Wechta @AlexAndBooks_ Thanks, if you scroll down a bit the solutions are listed as well.

@regroundd @AlexAndBooks_ I checked your page, it looks nice. But except listing the known problems, I do see your solution. The only CTA is my email. Tell us more!

@TaylinSimmonds reduce your screen time, your life will change dramatically

AI can teach you how to do almost anything. And yet people I talk to every week say the same thing: "I don't know what to do with my life. I just feel overwhelmed with all the options." The thing that's missing isn't how-to. It's what-do. Read more philosophy.

@SahilBloom reducing screen time and living more in reality

A few "boring" things I love: - Going to bed early - Waking up early - Eating simple foods - Saving money - Moving my body - Walking in silence - Reading old books - Avoiding drama Boring is seriously underrated.

@lymanstoneky Children need freedom, dirt, risk, play, and time with other humans that is not mediated by a screen.

My oldest is 6. Her age peers: -25% already have a smartphone -spend 7.2 HOURS/wk on internet devices -58% aren't even allowed to play IN THEIR OWN YARD without supervision -get less than 40 minutes/week outside without supervision -socialize with friends only 2.2 hrs/wk

Share your project/website, guys

We've normalised being unreachable for hours because we were scrolling, but feel guilty being unreachable for hours because we were living.

@Tekeee here you can check how long time you will waste for scrolling for the rest of your life based on your age and daily screen time: regroundd.app/calculator

HOT TAKE: Gaming is healthier for your brain than endless social media scrolling.

@Tekeee I dont think either of them are good.

@newstart_2024 Yes. Deep thinkers at the top, overstimulated scrollers below. That looks more and more like the trajectory.

Steve Jobs famously said his kids didn’t use iPads. Brené Brown highlighted this on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO. She’s been in rooms with tech billionaires and platform founders. When they’re asked what kids should study today, the answer is coding and physics. But when the same people reflect on their own success? They credit deep reading of philosophy, the Stoics, history, and the liberal arts. Her concern: a quiet divide is forming — one group protecting deep thinking for their own children while the rest of us are encouraged to just keep scrolling. In the age of AI, experts across the board are saying critical thinking, philosophical reasoning, and liberal arts skills are becoming even more essential — not less. AI can generate answers, but it can’t replace the human ability to ask the right questions, understand context, ethics, and meaning. The people building our digital future seem to understand this deeply for their own families, yet design systems that often pull everyone else in the opposite direction. Do you think we’re creating a two-tier system — deep thinkers at the top and scrollers below?

@james_xond spending time in nature, having a pet and taking care of them, social connections, activities with loved ones

Without drugs… what is the greatest cure for anxiety and depression?

Scrolling feels like resting. But have you noticed you feel more tired after two hours of it, not more relaxed?

@TaiTechSolution @X I mostly engage with helpful comments in my niche which is digital minimalism, screen time reduction, excessive phone usage and so on. Since its a real interest for me, I think my comments hold value and authenticity and those are the ones which get upvoted the most.

That’s actually the right way to start jumping straight into posting usually backfires. If you’re already participating in discussions, the next step is just being a bit more intentional with where you engage. Threads where people are asking for tools, sharing problems, or comparing options tend to convert much better than general discussions. Once you get a feel for what responses are getting replies or upvotes, you can start testing a few posts based on those same angles that way you’re not guessing. Most people get traction when they treat replies as testing ground, and posts as scaled versions of what already works. Have you started noticing any type of discussion where your replies get better engagement so far?

@MarioNawfal This system is social media, online dating and screen time. in general and the excessive use of it. People moved away from reality to live their lives through a screen...how sad.

This 30-year-old says none of his friends have kids. Not one. He points to something most people ignore: young people go out, but they don’t approach, they don’t take risks. Everything feels watched. Everything can be recorded. Then dating moved to apps, and those apps are not designed to be discarded. They are designed to keep you there, swiping left or right, delaying any real connection. You don’t need a crisis to stop people from having kids. You just need a system that quietly makes connection harder. Source: @alphafox

@NinaRosei3 I think the deeper problem is not technology itself, but how we use it, and that so much of it is now designed to capture attention instead of supporting real life.

Technology is doing more harm than good. It may make life easier, but people are losing real connection, and social media is harming mental health instead of helping it.

@yashhq_22 Both at the same time

As a solo founder, what do you build first? - the product - the audience

@AlexAndBooks_ Constraints like that would help more than people think. Most of the damage comes from the fact that the feed is always there, especially in the hours when people are most tired, lonely, and easy to pull away from real life.

Hot take: Social media should work like a library. It should open at 8am and close at 8pm. That would fix brainrot, the loneliness epidemic, and the dating crisis.

@Nithya_Shrii If you wanted to design something to make normal life feel too slow for a child, it would look a lot like YouTube Shorts.

Stop letting your kids watch youtube shorts immediately.
