Yesterday I blocked politics, worldnews, and similar. Feed was becoming nasty, depressing, everyone arguing, complaining, criticizing, trolls, strawmen. Literally people saying it all sucks, nothing matters, everybody's a liar, there is no point, why bother...
Since blocking, way better experience on lemmy.
I hate having to choose between being informed and being depressed
Yeah but it's not like I can fix any of them. I vote and occasionally donate to causes and hope that's enough. Fuck, does it really matter if you're informed when really there's no direct impact you can have on the situation
