If you need a platform that isn't addictive and DOESN'T feel like a cesspool, I suggest Bluesky (bsky.app).
It's like what Twitter used to be, except it's not algorithmic based-- You have MUCH more control over the people and topics that show up in your feed. there's also "starter packs" that basically let you mass-follow topics or related users you're interested in. It's a breath of fresh air tbh and a lot less of an echo chamber
