After a decade plus of social media we're starting to realise its effects on our overall mental health AND doing something about it. This is good.

I've been so much more chill since Musk bought Twitter and I jumped ship to Mastodon. Granted, I've also taken steps over the past couple of years to be more mindful and try to be in control of negative thoughts, but I feel like not using Twitter anymore has turn-charged my route to mental well-being.

So, er, thanks Elon, I guess?
