i know i haven't been on cohost in a bit (been busy + didnt feel like it) but it always makes me relieved to see something so like. similar to my own experience... justice sensitivity, moral OCD thinking patterns, call it what you want but that "if i dont talk about this Horrible Tragedy on social media i am complicit in it continuing" mindset has completely ruined my brain and is 90% of the reason i left mainstream social media for good in exchange for microdoses of fringe websites and lurking on forums so hyper-specific they fail to trigger me like that in the first place. i cant even briefly go on tumblr anymore without feeling slightly unwell, because that website is directly responsible for my constant agonizing over whether im A Good Person and has been for the last nine years.
me and my husband (who also doesn't use social media) often joke about "killing the tumblr discourser in our heads"; but there is an air of truth to it. i think everyone else should work to kill the tumblr discourser in their own heads. it makes you feel a lot freer to do what you wish.
