Lots of social media isn't necessarily bad either. HN, a carefully-curated Twitter feed, or the right subreddit or web forum can be wonderfully mind-expanding.

Lots of social media isn't necessarily bad either. HN, a carefully-curated Twitter feed, or the right subreddit or web forum can be wonderfully mind-expanding. Without regrets, I have spent many hours reading and discussing things in these digital spaces. My intuition is that the connection between digital environment and mental health will prove similar to the connection between family environment or school environment and mental health: the quality of the environment is overwhelmingly what matters, not how much time is spent in different environments.
