There's a problem
According to research, the use of toxic existing social media platforms is linked to decreased mental and emotional health. Studies show that social isolation and the constant exposure to negative or unrealistic content leads to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. The pressure to present a perfect image can also contribute to a fear of missing out (FOMO) and a sense of inadequacy.
