I’m not sure I’m buying this entirely. Social media can get pretty toxic and it was badly affecting my mental health. I scrubbed my Facebook feed clean of everything negative and political and I walked away from Twitter entirely. It really helped get me back to a more positive frame of mind.
Healthy internet use is the caveat.
I use a browser extension called fbp for desktop so i can remove all the stuff I didnt want on it. Sometimes it breaks but it gets patched or whatever.
I tried twitter, because I wanted to improve social skills, but it was very toxic, even when I mostly clicked on positive stuff. Maybe people are still upset over Covid. People said it used to be fun… I did enjoy the cat posts. Gotta love #catsoftwitter 
I love the internet, i was lucky to come on here when i started using a computer & i was recently diagnosed, it was around the Millenium (2003) .
I use it a lot for research & socials, support & for Music/Learning. Radio, Music production. & more.
It was hard to get going but this forum really helped bc my paranoia was bad in the early days & i felt safe here.
Hm it’s definitely harmed mine before
The internet is only as safe as other humans are to each other.
I agree with @Kxev that the Internet is safe people aren’t. Most people don’t know how to search for strangers on the Internet though so it’s pretty safe generally
So aside from discord
I got rid of all of my social media stuff. All of it. I have YouTube bout it. Here. That too. I don’t think the Internet is totally evil. You got to watch out sometimes though. Be alert. I’m back into studying computer network etc.
I think Internet is damaging to people who are not good at setting boundaries for themselves, and that’s a lot of people.
I got rid of social media, but I still got some OCD tendencies fidgeting with my phone even though I have nothing to do with it. I’m working on that.
I like using fb and insta to socialize with my friends, family and watch funny videos and memes, i share stuff too
What? I didn’t authorize this study.
Jk!
FB got to me so I am now very selective on who accept as a friend which includes a dickish uncle.
Never tried Twatter or done anything serious on Discord.
I find this forum to be quite harmless especially bc the Mods are at the top of their game.
