You might try only engaging in things you find will provide value to you.? You mention politics and it can be difficult to discuss those topics today, especially online and more so when people can be essentially anonymous and trollish.

I personally stopped using Twitter, try to limit the scope of my engagement on Reddit, and am trying to read more of what I would consider reputable sources of information instead of ‘going to the comments to get the real facts’. I’ve found using RSS and just reading articles (rather than going into the comment section to get takes) has been somewhat helpful.

Also just disconnecting every once and I while is helpful. But it kind of feels like I personally am addicted to the information…so that can be hard.

Sorry for the rant, just wanted to share what I have found somewhat helpful. Cheers
