Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger, but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world. Researchers say the answer isn’t to stop following current events—it’s to build healthier habits around how, when, and where we get our news.

    When you finally decide to leave reddit, remember to make some posts or comments inviting people to join lemmy

      Oh no I’ve been banned so many times since the fascist took over

      Don’t have an account anymore it’s not worth it. Lurking is fine. Mental health way better not being able to respond

      It’s really bad now even just saying fascists should be punished gets you banned. Imagine that.

      Here, I hope, I am free to say things. Even:

      Hang Elon musk and burn Trump alive. Prosecute all of the evil people to the max. Kill dictators, fight the power. Bleed for each other and see the new sun rise.

        I’ve noticed recently that reddit just makes you a random username and you can comment without having an account. I’m sure it’s still tracking you somehow but it’s kinda nice to still comment on something you’re looking up info for. I guess it makes sense with the AI modeling data usage now. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that they have enough data now to weigh comments based on the information they have about each user. Like if someone works in IT their comments get a little bit higher accuracy scores in the IT subs and same for any profession and it’s corresponding sub.

          I haven’t seen this and I don’t think I’ll ever return

          We all know it’s been bad, getting worse

          Really at the point where reddit lost its grimey subs and even dropped support for darknet market subs was the big tell

          Then the API changes… I still miss relay

          Does can go fuck himself and truly, the crowd on reddit now, meaning the current generation of Americans mostly, is completely and utterly retarded.
