After being banned from reddit I also kind of feel like this. I'm sure plenty is happening.
Also ive been on newpipe for a year now so my feed is literally only the things I subscribe to, and ive been blind to a lot more recently.
I made a seperate profile with news channels and stuff just so I can get some headlines going and know if I should be looking something up.
Other than that I have to go out of my way to see what's going on in the world. Which I now do when I poop instead of reddit.
Its weird it really fucks with your brain at first, the endless scroll was kind of this never ending game of there could be something better to watch or read. Even with lemme its kind of weird because I'll hit all the new content in 10 minutes so it feels empty. Thats pretty much dopamine withdrawal and feels normal when you get used to it.
I look at telegram channels, I look at hexbear, I look at Twitter, I look at corporate media, nothing is going on.
I mean theres the save the kids act, the EU is fighting their chat control right now.
I guess I don't know what you want to define as being big enough to be considered "happening"
Also maybe we should consider nothing going on as a good thing. What if we did this everyday for a while.
