For personal reasons, I am going to quit using Lemmy. I have two communities under me, I would appreciate it if someone wants to take over:

Lots of stuff happening in real life. Resurgence of childhood trauma, progressive medical issue, bad financial position, unemployment, political environment. Losing my sanity, started subscribing to unpleasant thoughts. Thank you for your concern, but I'm probably better off if I stop using any social media.

Totally understand! Social media and the constant flow of information in our feeds can be so detrimental to our mental health. If you do consider coming back, RSS feeds may be better for you. They allow you to control your sources, how frequently you see content, and you can even filter things easily. It's just like any normal feed on any website, but you can add different websites and sources to it and it just gives you way more control over your level of consumption online. Here's a good article about how RSS feeds help with our mental health if you're curious. Always put your health before all else, and wishing you all the best!
