@tompa @tompa Okay, this is indeed intriguing and highly relevant to my interests.
If you’re trying out the app for the first time, like me, and would like to join a preexisting community, here’s a link to the one I made: https://tryquiet.org/join#wvxxjb6y7hlsnjtyrmnqhovb35kdumdnkw3tcpktoi53l6djgvtegnad
NB: I am new at this and make zero assertions about moderation or safety of this community. It’s open to all and probably will need to be deleted before it succumbs to The Bottening 🤖
@stroughtonsmith got my app Quiet (a Safari extension, link in profile) working 😀 pretty happy about it. The content blockers are working. Only need to solve some UI issues. The modal views are not displayed correctly yet. But all in all it is a good developer experience.
An article (https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/social-media-mental-illness-epidemic) worth reading from Jonathan Haidt, about social media being the major cause of the mental illness in teen girls. Well, the cause is most measurable in teen girls, social media is also bad for other genders and age groups. I am thankful that this article is published.

In 2016 I started working on Quiet (https://5am.is/quiet/), it started out as a way to block social media websites in Safari. Because I saw the need for it, for myself, but also for other people.

@stroughtonsmith I am working on my app Quiet (https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1441525727) a content blocker for Safari on iOS and macOS. On macOS it is also a system wide network filter. Which allows you to block access to websites and apps. I am adding ScreenTime API support to the iOS app so users can hide apps when they activate certain rules. For example block Instagram and instagram is blocked in Safari and the Instagram app will disappear as well.
