Limiting what they have access to at home is the easy part. The hard part is making sure they still have access to all the same opportunities as their peers and can integrate well into society as an adult. You can feel as smug as you like about your parenting, but their classmates and future coworkers aren't going to care about that when your kid is out of the loop on the latest brainrot and ongoing events because they're not on Facebook to partake in the group chat.

It's good for kids to be terminally connected to social media brain rot so they fit in with the other damaged children?

No, the opposite of that
