I've definitely had much darker thoughts after reading a lot of traditional media than looking at Instagram.

  This past year, I think immediately back to believing and repeating the grotesque lie that Brian Sicknick had his brains savagely bashed in with a fire extinguisher by Jan 6 rioters. That never happened, but it was major news for a few days. I actually feel a bit violated for believing and repeating something so false. On the other hand, I haven't had a FB account of any type for over five years, so it hasn't directly affected my personal life.

    That feeling of being violated by false / incomplete information and narratives drives me mad. I've spent the last 5 years trying to manage my digital hygiene, not oversaturate myself with news notifications, etc. I look at things with a more critical eye, always hunting for bias. But it's still inescapable, especially with the force with which some of these narratives are pushed.
