Tbh social media is a reflection of ourselves. What we choose to look at and interact with teaches the algorithms who we are, and it shows us more of who it thinks we are..

Anger at least has positive emotion intermingled (neurologicallly it's a combination of positive & negative emotion), and it can be useful, not least as defence. Sadness & contrition can be useful as well but the general paralysis of true depression seems only to be harmful pain.

Twitter gives me news and keeps me informed. Instagram shows me pictures of people I care nothing about and now they＊re trying to become tik tok. I＊ll take twitter.

Another Twitter user defended Twitter and criticised Instagram by saying that the latter makes people envious and bankrupt.
Instagram makes people envious and bankrupt trying to make their homes, wardrobes, and vacations look like those pictures. Twitter (if done right) takes mind out of materialism to larger civic, philosophic, and even spiritual questions. Twitter is better.
