I think the point is that he’s blocking it from daily exposure. Obviously these are very important events, but the inundation of articles - some of which trying to capitalize on the violence - can be detrimental to the victims. Over-exposure to this horrific war causes it lose its severity.

Everyone trying to follow and stay aware of what’s happening should be picking and choosing their sources of information anyway. I wouldn’t call Lemmy best source for this or any world event.
