With the ban going into effect, I thought it might be helpful to allow people to share their experiences about the Australian teen social media ban and how it has affected them.

Note: For the Aussie Zone lemmy requirements, see here. Please use that thread for an Aussie Zone specific discussions or questions.

Good luck, everyone!

What the heck is "cooker" referring to?

    Oh, it’s an Aussie slang word referring to a conspiracy theorist, often one that’s engaging in antisocial behaviours or very far down the rabbit hole and imposing it on others.

    Think aggressively screaming antivaxers, sovereign citizens, Qanon, you get the picture. Edit: Oh yeah and sometimes they can also be really racist.

    It’s not a pleasant thing
