There is a term for that feeling when you can’t stop scrolling down Twitter, or reading news that you know will make you sad, anxious, or angry...it's called doomscrolling or doomsurfing. There are some tips to help get rid of the bad stuff on your social media.
--For example, on Facebook, you can unfollow someone or simply “snooze” them for 30 days by clicking the three dots at the top right of their post. Or, you can “hide post" so Facebook learns what kind of content you do not want to see. Using those same three dots, you can report abusive content or spam.
--Twitter and Instagram have menus on the top right that allow much the same thing.
--Another way to avoid social posts that may get your blood boiling is to sort your feed chronologically instead of how the algorithm thinks it’s most likely to get your attention.
