Can Social Media be healthy?

Social media, the way it is designed today, I have come to call antisocial media, at least taken as a whole. You can definitely find some positive aspects in all social media platforms for the people using them, like supportive online communities for minorities and nerds, keeping touch with friends and family across the globe, but at the end of the day, they are tools for commerce before anything else.
On this topic I'd like us to discuss few important questions:

• If you are on a social media or several, what are the positive and negative aspects of that experience?
• If you are not on social media but have been previously, what made you quit it and what would bring you back?

Disclaimer: I am playing with the idea of creating my own social media, based on ideas I believe would make it truly social, which I don't feel current popular social media sites are. Participating in this discussion will not make you a shareholder, but you may contribute to making the Internet a better place and definitely get to learn how others feel about things you care about.

To help guide the discussion, here are some references to consider:

1. The Social Dilema - Famous documentary on the way Facebook was designed to capture and commoditize human attention.
2. Social media use can be positive for mental health and well-being - This and more recent articles offer a nuanced view on the effects of social media. For example, people who post content tend to have better mental outcomes than consumers. Or using it when you need it rather than as a way to pacify yourself has also positive outcomes. Though for most people, the net effects are negative.

The meeting is free to attend, but please buy a drink or two at our patron's place (to be updated by end of this week, somewhere in central Prague), to make them happy.
