๐Ÿงต 1/2: I'm struck how the #Fediverse still took pride 2 weeks ago in being a positive space (unlike #Bluesky where people complain about everything & do nothing). Sheer terror has now spread to Fedi users, as the reality of new #fascism in #America sinks in.

After posting a lot of gloomy stuff myself yesterday, I took a breath and reread the post I pinned to my profile last year: so I decided to use Mastodon less as a venting space & more as a place to learn, teach & share. Please join!

๐Ÿงต 2/2: and then I thought I could make an adjustment. ๐Ÿ˜‚

A lot of the #positivenews movement (community victories, beautiful nature...) annoys me & now I understand why: it is because they pretend the rest doesn't exist.
So one approach I am going to test is the sandwich method: for every #investigativejournalism or #littleknownfact about #fascism I feel compelled to post, I shall come up with TWO positive posts. A compliment sandwich to #humanity. And I hope a good #gratitude practice.
