  • I try to watch what I read online, and it truly helps.

    Do:

    • Keep yourself informed by reading bland articles about climate studies with direct interviews from the scientists conducting them.

    • Stay knowledgeable about who to vote for to support reasonable climate policies.

    Do NOT:

    • Read articles that inject opinions from the web journalist, terrifyingly worded headlines designed to get you to click, or anything written for a secondary purpose (e.g. voter mobilization).

    • Get your info 2nd, 3rd, or 4th hand from social media personalities on tiktok, youtube, twitter, or any website with an algorithm than rewards the most extreme takes with more engagement.

    • Let fear prevent you from living the life you want to live or making long term plans.








  • It’s important to remember that you don’t owe it to anyone to engage in a comment fight. If someone decides to be grouchy and try to pull you into an argument, you can just ignore it and move on with your day.

    I post a lot of memes across Lemmy, and you’d be surprised (or maybe not) how often someone goes out of their way to be upset and attempt to bait me or others into arguing with them. I think some people just enjoy being mad, but I’m not one of them, so I’ve decided that it’s not worth the mental energy to engage with that.
