Social media isn't a good experience literally ever actually. The way it's designed is inherently harmful. Look what it's done to society. Doesn't matter how much you curate it.
I've been having a great time sharing my art with a small circle of people and sharing my life with them for years now, so I'd say I'm having a good experience! Sorry for you & yours though.
My tumblr experience is good. I only follow photography and art blogs. No drama or brainrot there. You could argue that's no longer social media but it's still good for discovering new art.
I follow all my favorite A03 authors, so my tumblr feed is very fandom-heavy yet it's also drama-free: just ignore the algorithm pushed blogs and unfollow/block all the blogs that do try to start or share constant drama and it's perfectly fine even as social media. For reddit I also do not go into the algorithm made feeds, I just visit the four subreddits I like - also drama-free. So imo "all social media is rotten" is a skill issue - specifically, the (lack of) skill to ignore the algorithms and strength to curate your own experience.
