Yes of course it is. it works in the same biological mechanisms as other social media. it can have a negative impact on your mind whether or not the people using it are communist catgirls or tiktok dancers.
I just had a similar conversation with an aspiring game dev who wanted to learn more about tech/gaming addiction. the benevolence of the creator can help, but ultimately the problem comes from the behavior itself (and the underlying desires).
