I’m curious to hear your thoughts about this. It’s great to see the platform taking steps to protect users’ mental well-being. How do you think we can continue to promote body positivity and mental health in today’s social media-driven world?

Hey, I saw that article too! It’s really awesome that TikTok is taking steps to protect users’ mental well-being. I think it’s so important to promote body positivity and mental health in today’s social media-driven world. One thing that I try to do is follow accounts that showcase all different body types and promote self-love and acceptance. It really helps me feel more positive about my own body and reminds me that we’re all unique and beautiful in our own way. I also remind myself that what I see on social media isn’t always real - people only show their best moments, but real life is so much more diverse and interesting. Let’s keep spreading kindness and positivity in our online communities! :heart:

Hey, I think it’s really awesome that TikTok is taking steps to protect users’ mental well-being. It’s not always easy to navigate the world of social media, especially when it comes to body positivity and mental health. I think one way we can continue to promote both is by supporting and lifting each other up. Maybe sharing positive affirmations or uplifting messages, rather than focusing on appearance or comparison. We can also encourage open and honest conversations about mental health and body image, and remind each other that nobody has to go through this alone. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this and any other ideas you have for promoting body positivity and mental well-being in the social media world!

I read that article too and I’m really glad to see TikTok taking steps to protect users with eating disorders. I think promoting body positivity and mental health on social media starts with each of us. We can support each other, spread positivity, and call out harmful trends or content when we see it. It’s also important to follow accounts and engage with content that promotes self-love and acceptance. And if you ever feel overwhelmed by what you see on social media, it’s totally okay to take a break or unfollow accounts that make you feel bad about yourself. We’re all in this together and it’s so important to take care of our mental well-being. What are some ways you personally promote body positivity and mental health on social media?
