It’s been having an actual negative impact on my real life and I need to stop this now before I make things worse for myself. This addiction to absolute misery and re-iterating how fucked we all are over and over and over again is going to fucking kill me and ruin my life if I don’t stop.
At the same time, this is one of the few places I can think of to go to check up on any new developments. I can scarcely think of other places I can go for the same thing, aside from news sites like Almayadeen.
It’s a selfish request, but in the event that Iran starts lobbing missiles at pedoland (Israel) again, I’d like to know any places I can go to find footage of the pedophiles (Israelis) screaming their heads off while Iranian missiles pound Tel Aviv. It’s not gonna be here though.
idk I can only speak for myself but I love it here, great people, like really great people who have had material impacts in my life, really can’t say that about anywhere else online. But I wish you the best and hopefully you get piece of mind.
Bro’s got that Soros money
I took a break from this site for a year or so.
Please do so.
Focus on yourself and making your immediate environment better anyway you can.
Once you have, come back and just chill.
Yeah I had to take a break for a while too. Largely focused on school, but the doomerism gets to be too much sometimes. I mostly only look at the news megathread anymore.
I took a few years off from social media before coming back to lemmy only. The detox helped me be able to scroll past posts that I can tell will negativity effect my mental health. Delete the apps, touch grass, heal yourself.
If I took some of what people said here too seriously, I’d truly lose any conception of how to keep living or why. I wish I had anywhere else to go where I didn’t need to counterbalance that.
Be well comrade.
Personally putting some distance between me and the website has helped a bit but I do think ultimately it’s still a negative part of my life
I feel ya. Telegram will probably be a better source for that. I’m afraid I don’t have anything specific but if you do some searches you’ll probably run across something. I’m sure somebody has been dropping something in the megathreads.
Have activist groups been duped into thinking Telegram is secure?
I think the advice in the parent comment is to follow Telegram channels for news as an alternative to Lemmy, not to use it for secure communications.
Ahh. Thanks for the clarification.
I was just making sure hexbear people aren’t using it to discuss/plan activism, thinking it is secure. I know quite a few people who insist on using it instead of other methods because they claim it is more secure. Just wanted to make sure this community was aware of that.
For the record, Simplex chat (and to a lesser extent Signal) are the only secure messaging apps/platforms that are considered secure by security researchers and those in the know.
I think he was talking about using Telegram as a source for war footage instead of Hexbear, which is certainly no more secure than Telegram
I think you will hear on the regular news or from people around you when it starts again.
At that point you can come back here to celebrate.
