Two days in. My anxiety levels are down and I think it's because the bird site has pivoted slowly, imperceptibly, towards three kinds of content:

Capitalism
Doom
Sarcasm and complaining about capitalism and doom

None of these things is good for your mental health. It's much better for the mind to be in a creative and constructive place where you are learning cool, new things and giving it something positive to chew on.

@spodgod I left the Bird in 2018 through Jan 6. Too much for mental health. Too much gloom doom and attacking. It is was too much again. The day before election I killed my account. My hope is to talk #politics with reasonable people of all realms. We will see. I do like what I’m seeing so far. I sort of hope some of the bigger people there don’t come here and start right back up where they left off.
