The internet is fantastic.

You feel connected with the whole world.

Video chat with friends that live far away.

A constant stream of hate and doom beamed directly into your eyes 24/ 7.

Cat videos.

stop doomscrolling, start bloomposting

Along with #bloomscrolling and #florespondence, #mosstodon and #lichensubscribe are some great hashtags to follow on the microblogging Fediverse

A little bit of everything all of the time.

Thankfully I’m mostly able to stay out of the doom and gloom. NOT ALWAYS πŸ˜‚ But mostly

I admire your ability to curate lemmy to achieve that!

And all the other social media I use too 🀣

Simce a few weeks, I’ve moved all my politics, news, climate etc community subscriptions to an alt account. Most of the time I’ll just use this one, but sometimes the alt is the way to go. But this way exposure to all the chaos and malevolence is a conscious decision. Highly recommended!

That's a good strategy. It's fun to swim in the chaos sometimes, but not all the time. Adult swim!

Give me doom or give me death. Cats are so 2007

Cat videos make the internet worth it.

Bothersome that every "off topic" forum is "racism, bigotry, and homophobia reside here"

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

be the change you want to see, the off-topic channels i'm in are 50% cat memes 50% unionization propaganda
