Is CE good or bad for your mental health?



Do you think consuming content and interacting on CE has a positive or negative impact on your mental health, or does it have no impact at all?

I seldom respond to political so Im doing okay. Keeping it on the lighter side of things for the most part.

CE can be downright toxic, though it's less readily apparent when immersed in it for extended periods of time. I don't think this toxicity is unique though; it's pervasive on social media platforms and forums.

No impact at all. Just one of many time sinks whenever I feel like coming here.

it's a time sink for sure with the memes and political post.

If you genuinely need help though or need to vent about a personal matter, there's plenty of people here willing to listen and help you.

Depends on how mentally strong you are. If you're weak, it'll be bad, if you're strong, it'll be fine.

If you get offended very easily by people you've never met or will never meet disagreeing with you, probably move on to Twitter where you can find an echo chamber.

Depends on the person.

Some people could do with spending a lot less time here.

Pretty bad. It's really hostile, especially when it comes to social and political issues

The internet in general is a bad place where people express their worst opinions from a veil of anonymity.

If CE is your only social outlet, you're likely to think that the average person is bitter and miserable.

No worse than the rest of the internet. This place is actually pretty tame and, well, sane compared to most places.

It's alright if you stay out of the political topics.

I'd say that it's a net negative. It's a good place to blow off some steam, though.

Topics that aren't political can become political though.

This is true too.

I have to catch myself a lot and think about what I'm saying and if I'd actually be cool saying the same stuff irl. I think I do a decent enough job of staying true to that, although I slip sometimes.

In the past, users on CE were politely advised by other users on CE not to make non-political topics political.

That aspect of our netiquette has seemingly died a terrible death.

As bad as it is here, Reddit is worse

I guess it depends on the community with Reddit.

True. I think the majority of subs can be pretty bad though.

Neither. Having someone who cares about me would good for my mental health though.

Neither, it''s a message board where a lot of people here have embraced the trolling culture and we're all a part of it. If one considers this board good for their mental health, well good, if one considers it bad, they should leave and find somewhere else to frequent.
