I'm worried for the world. All I've been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can't even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I'm not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?

If you ever find a good solution for filtering out those posts, please update us.

I tend to only view my subscribed community feed, but it would be nice to look at β€œAll” to find new communities.

    It's definitely not a complete nor perfect solution, but I've noticed that a number of accounts disproportionately post very negative news links. I've started blocking some of those users. It helps break it up a bit. I'm sure I'm missing some news now, but there's only so many times I can see posts about the world burning up or genocide before browsing lemmy becomes stressful and nihilistic.

    So if I see the same negative news story on multiple communities, I'll click on the user and if they're blasting negative stories everywhere I just block them. For example, I just blocked silence7@slrpnk.net, not because of any harassment or anything, it's just that they almost exclusively post political and climate doomsday stuff.
