Do people want to see more positive posts? Do you feel the negative affects of doom scrolling?

    Most definitely. There is a lot that is wrong in the world right now, but being bombarded by hundreds of posts about the same terrible things every day is just not good for anyone’s mental health. These days, I just steer-clear of overly negative groups and posters.

      When I notice my anxiety level increasing I need to take a break. I think it’s good to stay informed but I agree, it’s not healthy. Maybe we need to bring more positive news to lemmy. I also created a mental health support community.

        I’d love to see more positive news/posts on lemmy. There ARE good, even great things happening out there that never quite seem to get the attention they deserve. You’d be surprised at what a difference a little positivity will make in one’s life.
