   Bluesky: "everything is terrible and we're all going to die... but what can you do"

     @thekitmalone honestly, I feel like my mental health following the news would be so much worse if I was still on other socials. It’s so motivating and (dare I say optimistic) to see people actually doing things. Keep resisting. Keep organizing. Keep decentralizing!

     @Debbie_Lindsay @thekitmalone I feel pessimistic for several years but in last weeks I realized it would be much worse if I used mainstream services and/or didn't block ads and trackers. It would be really horrible if some soulless algorithm could purposely exploit my emotional weakness and send me down into the dark hole.
