There is a lot of great stuff on here, but I tend to stay away from social media because it makes me too frustrated and belligerent (see comment history). The reason I always come back is it's difficult to manage and curate a feed without some kind of community. Do you have recommendations for RSS feeds, websites that don't require accounts to subscribe, or any other suggestions?
I try to actively not be informed. Yet somehow I still am (somewhat) through friends and family. I think I'm generally a happier person not knowing about all the insane timeline stuff going on around me.
Like if you didn't know what trump and Elon were up to, would you really be missing out? And when you do eventually hear about it, how does it make you feel?
I think our day to day life is generally not effected by what the world is up to.
