There’s so much doom on social media right now. The environment is collapsing. The economy will crash. Civil rights are ending. Democracy is dead.

What keeps you going? Why do you still get up and go do what needs to be done when the world seems to be ending around us?

    I think I just hit that wall. This thread is fucking depressing. There’s happiness and hope out there, but it seems you won’t find it on social media, I guess. Negativity bias seems more prevalent on Lemmy than others.

      Negativity drives more clicks so therefore is more profitable for reporting KPI.

      I block any C that is news, local regional things, political, or US centric. That seems to kill off most negatively in a platform.
