But come on. Diversity is not actually bad. People being diverse even if they think it’s bad is not bad. And memes are not a meaningful driver of diversity.

I don't think any of the people you are having a discussion with are making the claims you think they are making.

I’m responding to

> less cultural cohesion due to hyper diversity in memes resulting in fewer shared experiences

My take is it’s a bunch of people who are out of touch with the youth assuming that the youth feel out of touch with each other.

Intent does not an outcome make.

"Social media" accelerates unmoderated interaction with other irresponsible people, which, generally speaking, is not healthy for teenagers.

Other irresponsible people means their peers right? Like teens talking to teens without adult supervision?
