This exactly, reddit and X can be good places to stay informed about what is going on in the world, but the constant negativity, astro-turfing and misinformation is quite unhealthy. I'm a fair bit more relaxed since 'reading reddit' isn't my morning ritual anymore.
I dropped Reddit after the Apollo/API fiasco and came here, and it's been a good change. I still skim Facebook occasionally for niche group stuff, by and large I just don't consider Reddit save for searches that take me there but the constant flood of interstitials has me avoiding it more and more even then
