Its my fault for coming to lemmy hoping for some mindless escapism.
I get gut punched each time I open my feed. My understanding of the world shows me a bleaker, more disgusting image every time. I appreciate you sharing this and opening my eyes, thanks.
You either gotta use an app/front-end with filters, or accept having your mind expanded, be it for good or ill (or both, since one can lead to the other).
I prefer the second option 99/100, but I do have an app that’s heavily filtered for when I just can’t bear the ugliness of the world for a few hours.
I used to frequent 9gag when it was mostly ragecomics, countryballs etc. (and also quite some time after that), but nowadays its just xenophobia, racism and incels.

Knowing the truth is important. So is staying strong enough to fight. Part of staying strong enough to fight is tending to your emotional well-being.
Please take breaks when you need. Friendship and sunsets and butterflies still exist. Use them as often as you can🫂

For you it’s mindless scrolling. For us it’s daily life. Help us.
Go to imgur, 9gag, krazframe, 4chan, memify, etc
Lemmy is like reddit- an unhealthy mix of trolls and legit discussions
