Honestly I think everyone could use a break from social media, media, 24/7 news, clickbait, etc. I'm starting to think that going back to regular print newspapers and a much shorter news cycle would help to calm down politics (at least in America). Also, social media breeds such a toxic and cut-throat environment, then we throw kids into it before they can comprehend the impact it'll have on their future... it's fucked up...

Social media is actually proven to create depression. I stopped using Facebook in 2016 and my life has been much better. I don’t use any social media apart from forums like this and occasionally read twitter if I want to feel superior to the majority of people using it

I've been trying to do the same. Deleted Facebook and twitter from my phone, highly restricted reddit use after the ban wave, this place, etc. Reading more has definitely helped to reduce stress.
