Twitter is really awful because the world is falling apart and I'm reminded every minute, but this place has it's own flavour of constant negativity. Everyone is low-key trauma-dumping at all times.

I'm a little bit annoyed by this because where else can I vent my frustration? Nothing good to even report - and I'm sure people are tired of me posting my cat🙄
While I agree that there's a lot of that here, I also get why people are doing it. WE seem to be led by people that want to destroy everything decent and turn it into a rancid dystopia, and ignoring it won't make it go away. Does it suck? Sure. I can't fault anyone for venting about it though.
I don't think people should ignore it. Social media should be used to unite and organize against evil, not just vent about it (and often about much more mundane things). I want to see energy.
I get it, and agree. I think there's a lot of "things are fucked, but how do we fix this?". I know I'm one of them. Maybe there's room for both? I don't know, I'll freely admit I don't have the answers.
THIS. There's so much political crap I do not want on bsky, but also even on sites like The Verge n stuff. How did we get here? Am I wrong for wanting to just grill for God's sake?
I am very careful to keep my feed here focused on gaming, retro gaming and a few tech things. No news, politics or commentary. Any feeds start drifting that way, they're gone.
I know I'm using this only in a niche way, but this is the only social media I have left. I'll leave if it gets too bad.
I don't want to put my head in the sand or anything like that, I just don't like seeing people acting sad and helpless all the time, and I think social media tends to bring that out a lot more and also directly causes a lot of it. I want to see people promoting positive change.
When i move here, i thought at first
"Wow! I hope this place won't be as bad as my past place where people rant about politics, politicians and some other things that i rather rant privately"
But boy, How wrong when people keeps rant about that again... But worse, All they share are indirect hatred

People gotta share the positive stories more.

it's kinda expected that everyone is gonna get negative when all we hear about is how the world sucks at the moment
