We have so much to learn from Marcus Aurelius and other stoics. I wish I had discovered them earlier in my life. Regarding social networks, I think the key is to learn to get from them what is useful (an extended network for example) and resist the call to consumerism. Not an easy task as they are designed to be addictive.
"I wish I had discovered them earlier in my life" -- same!
It may just be me, but I think the endless scroll of social networks is the biggest part of the problem. It trains us to constantly seek novelty, which is destructive in the long term. Kudos to you and anyone else that can manage it effectively.
