Acknowledged.
But an addition: humans aren’t meant to handle the mental crush of globalization, IMO. It’s nice to know what’s going on so one can be actionable, but it also takes a severe toll after a while. I didn’t come here for any echo chamber, and I love how down to earth lemmy feels, but I also don’t visit any politics or world news subs.
I help where I can locally and I do my best to make other people smile because we’re all on edge, but I’m not able to to stay mentally well enough to do so without shrinking down the world around me and becoming ignorant of the greater picture.

Thank you. Sometimes I feel like that’s what I should do to maintain serenity - control what I can control. However, sometimes I think about how little is truly controllable in our modern world and get a bit uncomfortable. I get especially uncomfortable when others seem to not even notice, yet alone care that it’s happening. I’m in a moment in life where I can control very little. With that in mind I feel especially motivated to connect with people who at least notice what’s happening. The idea of decentralised services gives me a sense of escaping the matrix for lack of better term, and I am curious what others do for similar feelings or how I can maximize decentralised services personally.
