#doomscrolling

#SocialNetworks that are fed by an #algorithm are causing much harm to you. Just one example of many: karl-voit.at/2024/07/13/social

Please do convince your friends and relatives to try out a healthy alternative like the #Fediverse here: karl-voit.at/2024/06/18/Fedive

When you visit your friends and family, tell them about not having #endlessscrolling or #doomscrolling. Tell them about being able to read unfiltered comments and articles. Tell them about not destroying your mental health all the time, following some #influencers that show a wrong picture of the world and the people.

Accounts on servers like graz.social are for free. (Donations welcomed: info.graz.social/spenden/ )

Have a happy weekend!

I know better than to doom scroll on #Mastodon.

I'll disable the app on my #GrapheneOS phone and see how long I can go without using it. Sure, I could still doom scroll on my #Laptop or #Desktop running #Debian, but that's not the point.

Instead, I'm challenging myself to redirect my energy towards reading about Debian, Anarcho-syndicalism, and things that interest me.

Today was enough, and I'm taking control.

Let's see how this experiment goes.

But first - every week I compile a Mastodon thread of fun to tempt you out of the house. Staying in and #doomscrolling all week is no good - go recharge, connect with people, and try to thrive.
If this resonates, help spread the message - boost these toots, share this thread/idea with neighbors who aren't tuned in to non-corporate social media, and get inspired to do weird little projects that make your fediverse more fun.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Wednesday. MrsD's jacket is now wearable! The shop were most apologetic and embarrassed. The tag didn't set off the alarm when we entered so something was faulty. A large discount on some stuff MrsD needs for her bad foot was offered and received. 👍

Right then, have a great day, have fun, have laughs, tell bad jokes(to me!). Take care.

Todays photo was taken on 7th April 2015, my birthday, in Cyprus. I believe its Mimosa. #BloomScrolling not #DoomScrolling.

I was thinking earlier about how I should just stop posting/boosting about how bad things are going ‘cause we all have enough on our plate already and you can see it everywhere you look already, and why not just focus on the good, happy, silly little things instead?

It’s really stupid out there, and it’s not gonna end in four years (if ever). We all know how this ends, btw. Maybe we should try to lighten the load on each other. Just a thought.

Silly thoughts, like “What if I died in the shower?” are a nice way to break out of the doom and dust silos we can easily trap ourselves in.

We need to be kind to ourselves and to each other, because it’s only gonna get worse; let’s be honest.

🧵 2/n is in indignation. How not to work for the #outrage economy of #socialmedia?
In non-fictional texts about socially relevant topics, it is incredibly difficult to maintain distance these days. It is too convenient to reproduce the almost meme-like agitation. This guarantees masses of readers from #doomScrolling. It spreads what the evil guys want: Fear, paralysis, helplessness.

A good text must state the #facts, but open a window. A view of what could be different. A look at the people who
