hacker News is definitely part of the problem. I've started to use three rules to evaluate habits similar to hacker news.
eliminate things that:
1) are unproductive
2) I do not enjoy
3) are pathological (This includes things that float around in your head and create negative thoughts after you do it. coming back to a very negative political argument as an example of this)
I'm not perfect at applying them but it has dramatically improved my life because it has given me a tool to evaluate social media use And I have successfully ramped down use of social media that made my life worse.
