Oh man. I just stopped with everything. My soul hurts and I need a break. Sometimes ignorance is good.
Yep, I scrubbed all my feeds for this reason. I have enough friends that post the lowlights to group chats anyway, that’s already more than enough of the bile for me.
My attitude is that big news always gets through any filters. If i filter out Trump’s name, I’m still going to see things like “Canada proposes counter US tariffs” or “[My State’s Governor] details plans for medical spending in absence of federal aid” or “Selena Gomez bares it all in tiktok about raids”. At that point I can say “what tariffs, what funding, what raids?” and go find out what’s happening. And if aliens invade the planet in an emergent breaking story, the group chat will pop off, I can tailor my daily meme experience toward being pleasant
Pretty big brain right there I’ve gotta say
I need to see the political equivalent of headlines like “Main Street is on fire” but don’t need to read every article for every sad topic.
I just unsubbed from all the political YouTube channels. These fuckers have turned into mini mainstream media. 100% fearmongering in every single video. Money fucks everything and everyone. I'm just fucking done.
