Hi, not sure if this is the right place for this, but - I come to slrpnk.net to talk with people about solarpunk ideas and actions, but my dash is frequently filled with endless news stories. If I wanted to read upsetting news, I would… go read the news. Climate in particular has almost no discussion about climate change or actions we can take and only news articles. I’ve been thinking of blocking the community so that I don’t have to sift through news stories to get to posts by members of our community. Does anyone else feel like this?
(Note: this isn’t to say that I’m ungrateful for the folks sharing the news articles. I do appreciate it! I just feel that for myself, I’d rather focus on the possibilities that solarpunk has and human connection with others in this movement.)
I’m in the same boat, but I do actually get stuck doomscrolling and doomposting sometimes. I’m trying to do better.
Anyway, I appreciate your comment. It’s stirred something living in me.
hey thanks for the response, it genuinely helps to feel like you’re not just shouting into the void when bringing up things like this
