RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I think Lemmy, Reddit and all the rest are making me angry, depressed and hopeless (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

It's just, too much, so much bad and evil happening and I can't take it, nor can I look away.

I use these platforms to distract from the gnawing constant loneliness I feel that never goes away.

I can't spend more than 5 minutes without a video playing or checking some kind of media to fill the void.

I'm feeling so suicidal nowadays, but I'm stuck in this existence for the time being.

I have Ukraine. Gaza, Trump and Musk blocked, not because I don't care about them but because I can't affect them in any way whatsoever aside from feeling shitty at being more personally aware of the atrocities of the world.

Do you feel at all disconnected from what is going on in the world?

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Nope, enough still comes through. It's not like I'm not aware of these things I just don't want to be bombarded with them.

You can always vote

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What makes you think I don't vote?

[–] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The fact that you said you can’t affect them in any way whatsoever aside from feeling shitty at being more personally aware of the atrocities of the world.

Voting is compulsory in my country. The people I've voted for have never won any power to affect things. Our (like many countries) media is essentially bought out acting as a PR wing for the wealthy,

Maybe you should vote for someone with a chance of victory.
