I post to Lemmy a lot and generally try my best to not contribute to the doom and gloom for this reason. I think there's a difference between wanting to stay informed and getting addicted to the outrage/doom posts.
I'm mostly here to joke around with people and nerd out in a handful of niche interest communities.
I wish I could take credit for these, lol. There's a Quest 64 novelty account that makes them, and I'm just a fan of the memes.
I couldn't actually figure out Quest 64 as a kid... It's still sitting on a shelf upstairs with my old N64, unbeaten. Maybe I'll join you in that adventure one day!
