Browsing shallow memes and political outrage here is basically just home-made junk food instead of store-bought junk food. Likely less unhealthy, but that's not exactly eating a bowl of vegetables lol - that would perhaps be reading a book or something. Not a great fit for the comparison imo.
(as an aside, it seems plausible that junk food in small quantities as part of a balanced diet might boost mental health vs strictly never indulging)
Yeah, let's be realistic here. No one is going to believe the fediverse is shining beacon of positivity on the internet and any one who might would be turned off by the reality they find.
And that reality is, this is the internet, and any venue with a large amount of people is going to have some issues. We should highlight how the fediverse approaches that differently (and positively) first and foremost.
