Nah I think twitter is among the worst. It doesn't actually make you more informed of anything actionable you'd actually benefit from being aware of. It just broadcasts the most shallow rage-bait possible, from a constantly updating stream of pointless arguments and mentally ill strangers.

It honestly decreased my baseline well-being far faster than anything else, even when I'd just try to follow the most insular network of math academics and art people. At least tiktok was vaguely more positive and the occasional gnome footage or afghan giant conspiracy was fun.
