The sort of people with the moral height to migrate to decentralized platforms are also, likely, the sort of people to be realists – the world is fucked, hiding from the truth doesn't make it go away.
And just reading about it doesn't either... being informed is important but letting negativity consume your world view isn't healthy or productive, it's just angsty.
Well said.
Part of that truth is also that there is positive news out there, more than people are necessarily aware of, but OPs very valid point is you rarely find that discussed on Lemmy. And when it is brought up people take great delight in torpedoing it. That's not realistic, that's defeatist doomerism.
I dunno why people dislike your take - I think it's spot on.
