Complain, complain complain. That's what you people do here all day every day. That's even what I'm doing right now. Jesus Christ no wonder we all feel like shit all the time. This is the most miserable and cynical circle jerk I've ever participated in.
There's nothing wrong with controlling / filtering the things you allow into your news feed.
Yes, there is a need to stay informed, but TBH the only immediate things one really needs are:
a weather radio [Canada] [US] to alert of impending doom from volcanic eruption, inclement weather, earthquake or civil unrest
local weather forecast
local traffic & news
All of which can be accomplished without a Twitter, Reddit or Fediverse news feed.
You can't function if you're in a bad headspace. If you need to restrict your news intake, not only is that OK, but it is at times required and healthy.
