I've started moving my reading of "social" media more toward the "Fediverse" and distributed/decentralized types of networks (like Mastodon and Peertube for example). Also RSS feeds in a feed reader, Hacker News/Ycombinator, and other more easily controlled sources that aren't driven by the "Evil Algorithms™" used by the "social" media giants.

I also curate and engage in a list of other "hobbies" that can easily distract me from the various (anti-)social networks. I'm teaching myself Python coding (by writing tools to organize and consume my various information and data sources in healthier ways, and Blender 3D (because I've always been fascinated by 3D graphics in games, movies, and TV), and Godot game engine (because it goes nicely hand-in-hand with Blender 3D when I want to bring some "life" and interactivity to my 3D models (more than achieved by simple linear animation can provide). When I catch myself on any of my informational feeds, I tend to start to naturally gravitate toward information about those hobbies which tends to lead me inevitably back into those tools to experiment with some newly found knowledge on the topic. This allows me to more easily and frequently ignore things that tend to lean more toward the "wasted time" side of the equation.
