Trying To spend less time on my phone
really going to go for this in the new year

but I’m also thinking which website/apps are the most toxic and are the ones to cut completely
im thinking perhaps instragram and Twitter as the top two

i don’t mind this one mums new so much as it’s so varied what you can chat about

Er tik toc ? Not sure but it’s annoying how alotnof sad stuff comes up on there and not sure if there’s a way toj can se tot so only funny stuff comes up

Twitter is the most toxic in my opinion. It just spread division and hatred.

As for streamlining apps; I got rid of my Facebook this time last year when I figured you could keep your friends on messenger. I've liked that arrangement.

I like Instagram as I find it less intrusive than Facebook, and tiktok is my guilty pleasure.

I’ve never really quite got Twitter
but I’ve heard it’s really quite nasty

no apps are toxic, its the people you follow who are the toxic ones - unfollow them and find better people to follow

Sad to say, I find the most toxicity on MN. I’m sure there’s plenty on Twitter as well but I don’t see it as I only follow people who post things I’m interested in (art/poetry/nature accounts) and avoid politics and loudmouths.

Instagram is my
Fave as I feel it's the least toxic of all , twitter for me is possibly the worst

I agree with this. MN can be helpful at times but I've never seen so much bullying on one app in my life 🤦‍♀️ some people are way too harsh with their responses, there's certain ways of wording things without sounding horrid x

Instagram and Tik Tok are the worst

From what I read on MN, the NextDoor app is bad for people's mental health.

I don't use Tik Tok or Twitter. I only follow a handful of people on Instagram. One is of a rescued raven. I love seeing his updates.
