  • After reading this and a lot of the comments in the thread, I genuinely think people need to get off the internet for a while for their own well being.

    I’ve been here since the Reddit API bullshit, and while there are negative things that get popular, overall, it has been just the same as it was on Reddit, albeit a smaller community.

    To me, it seems there are people on both sides who take Lemmy way too seriously. Those that want to hate on every little thing, and those that put way too much focus on those that hate every little thing. I just came here for the news, same thing I was using Reddit for, so maybe I don’t use Reddit/Lemmy the way a majority do here. I comment on things that interest me, try to reply to those that are trying to have a genial conversation with me, and then log off for the day and do the things I actually want to do.

    Not having constant content to “doomscroll” on is a bonus in my eyes. The internet isn’t something you should just spend every waking hour of your life on. To get back to the point of the OP post, log off. Even for just a few hours! Don’t take yourself too seriously, and definitely don’t take every little thing too seriously. Don’t feed the trolls, and just move on with your life!
