I hide posts when I’m done with them and I swear to god these political and news communities are posting the same things over and over again. I’ve seen the same post more than once.

The worst part is that the articles they post aren't even good. They're bias almost to the point of being bullshit.

I live in an even shittier country with even worse future prospects, so for me they are still positive messages, and i'm in ave that they are on a totally different level on the maslow pyramid

I mean, if there's not anything I can do beyond dumping a thimble of water on the fire six months from now I'd rather just die happy.

Tbf, Lemmy is a place to unwind for many people, we have enough boring exhausting shit going on irl.

Yeah, the doomposting is intense on Lemmy. I've taken up a policy of just downvoting any negative posts I see, even if I like the post otherwise, just to tamp down the negativity a bit around here.

The best and worst thing about Lemmy is how niche we are. It keeps out the "mainstream", but unfortunately we're easily inundated by perpetually-online doomers.

Also, I would recommend blocking users moreso than communities. Once you start looking for it, you realize that like 90% of these posts are made by just a few people/bots.

Yeah. I just take a quick peek at their comment history to see if I should just block them. Works great.
