Social Media blackout?

Is anyone else here taking a complete step back from social media? I am seriously considering it for two reasons 1. The scaremongering and false facts and 2. The absolute stupidity of people is driving me insane.

One example, Yesterday morning I queued outside a local chemist who were getting a delivery of hand sanitiser for my mother who is high risk & has been looking for a bottle for about 2 weeks for when she is out and about. I bought one bottle. Some local media outlet put out a photo of the queue and I along with everyone else in the queue got absolutely pulled apart in the comments. Some couldn’t even grasp what you would want there.

Then there’s the more people die of flu tripe and then proceed to argue basic maths. Or cancer....completely different type of disease as it is not generally preventable.

I just feel like I’m about to explode at the stupidity of people. So from tonight I’m shutting off all social media for the sake of my suffering mental health. Anyone else?
