It never was though. Studies always showed that it increase anxiety in the users. Hell, I'm trying to use Bsky to support artists trying to move away from twitter and the while it's not too bad, the character limit is forcing me to simplify my thoughts to the point that they're no longer specific enough not to create new conflict. Is this how twitter always was?
It depends on what you mean my positive light but generally I would say you're wrong. Twitter had a dedicated fan base well into this decade and was where every business and personality had an account for a reason. Yes people knew of negative social media effecta but Twitter definitely had a fairly wide spread cult following.

Also, it seems weird to say a mainstream social media platform cult following.
Twitter was awesome pre-2015 then something happened....can't quite figure out what brought a bunch of assholes to the platform....hmm...
And if you feel forced to simplify your thoughts to fit the character limit, you're simply using the wrong service
