Listen up, you Lemmy champions:

You’re special, you’re enlightened, you’re a bunch of kind hearted, humble champions.

Enjoy your day.

    I think the way we consume news has gotten incredibly unhealthy. The rush to know things as fast as possible has lowered the quality of news, and mixing the news into your entertainment feed of the entire day might be weird for our brain.

    I feel you though. There’s shitty things happening in the world and it doesn’t seem like it’s helpful to anyone for me to know about every little instance. I wish I could just get detailed stories for local news, and just get general stats for national stuff.

      I’ve gone on total media blackout, it was destroying my mental health. I even deleted the news widgets on my phone. I have two exceptions:

      • Lemmy, but I have a very curated list of communities I follow. No “news”, no politics.
      • I follow RSS feeds from sites/people I like. For example, Cory Doctorow, Electrek, Kottke, Daring Fireball.

      Through this, I eventually learn about the “important” stuff, but it’s not in my face at all times, baiting for clicks and inducing rage.
