I don't find FB bad for my mental health, but I find that when I'm having bad days, FB can be a bad place to be. I don't think it's FB itself, I think it's the nature of the interaction that some people can and can't handle. Most of FB for me is drama free, except I am part of a private community group that has a lot of drama. I don't participate in the drama, I dont' even post on there. I mostly just lurk and munch on popcorn while watching people argue about pointless things. It's my very own soap opera!
Yeah, I have experienced very little bad on Facebook. I mean, I have learned not to comment on stuff if I don't want an argument, or to just turn off notifications or block people if something gets out of control (which it rarely does). I honestly don't spend too much time on FB other than looking at photos my family and close friends share from their daily lives, which I appreciate. I also have to use it for work, so I'm on my work's page and sharing stuff there, but it has nothing to do with me or me interacting with others.
I think it's more about the person than the place, whether or not it's a safe environment for mental health.
