When scrolling Lemmy (compared to reddit in the past), all I see is doom and gloom / news. I don't see interesting conversations or comments to read.

Occasionally I'll find something, and I've been contributing more, but there's just so much doom that it fills my feed.

I've had to unsubscribe from many communities bc it's just doom news reposts..

Is it just me?

People are tiring of the shouting, though. The cultists will find out eventually that people can't be mad all the time if you want your shit to work.

Nazism lasted 22 years. (Counting the Beer Hall Putsch to WWII surrender.)

Buckle up. It can and will get much worse, at least here in the US.

The plus side is that, even among the Nazis, there were innumerable examples of people doing good with their own two hands. No one can stop you from doing that.

I hope so… we need more discussing to help everyone find what they can do and that requires more listening and less shouting indeed.
