FB/Instagram is a for-profit ad-driven platform that relies on fearmongering to keep you addicted to the platform. Keeping yourself addicted to a platform like that and destroying your mental health with it doesn't help anyone but the corporation that runs the platform.

Lemmy is a lot less addictive for me than personalized algorithm-driven TikTok/Reels/Shorts type stuff and has better quality content, but there's also a lot less content. I blocked internet access for Instagram and other apps on my phone and now I ended up on YT shorts on my computer also
