Doomscrolling is an unwilling scrolling through usually negative, pessimistic, and downright bad content without being able to stop. It's depressing, it's sad, the platformed has seized you, it's 2 am and you are in bed still scrolling through the dashboard of whichever platform you're using. You lose agency over your attention and bedtime.

One could say that if a platform has this feature enabled it's already bad in and of itself. And a lot of social media platforms are based on scrolling as a main interaction feature (Twitter (... X?), Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Tik Tok, YouTube...). Some heavy users develop “text claw” or “cell phone elbow”, both syndromes that cause pain from excessive use of a mobile device. Endless scrolling through a stream of content implies encountering many posts with no correlation to each other, a cute cat video might follow a video of active war. There is no hierarchy of content in an endless scroll, there is only the programmed feature which glues your eyes to the screen.

Resist scrolling. Put a time limit on how much you can use an app. Some apps have the option of tinkering with and resisting certain programmed features, for instance on Tumblr you can set a chronological feed that is based on the people you follow. If you follow this feature it means that at one point you have caught up with your feed. Assuming you don't go out of your way to check out the 'explore' dashboard or follow too many people.
