    the general advice people have given here has been pretty good, but i want to share a couple things that have worked for me to disrupt these kinds of negative habits:

    • remove the site from your browser history so it doesn’t autocomplete in the address bar
    • log out of the site so you don’t get your “preferred” places to go recommended
    • get a browser extension to block the site as a whole or the specific features that bother you

        i’m talking about trying to break a habit that you find negative in your life, and some specific things that can help with that, not saying that you should do these things on this site.

          I see what you mean. I just think that if you’re not angry, you’re either not well informed or have no empathy. It sucks, I know. I don’t know how to unknow what I do. Ignorance is bliss as they say. I think it’s better to find a way to deal with it than to avoid it altogether.

            to go back to the original post, where she is getting angry at zionists (presumably about the genocide israel is doing), i care much more whether you are doing anything about it than what emotions you have about it. different people work differently. i’d rather someone contribute to a local org and be ignorant of global struggles instead of spending all of their time getting angry at people online so that they contribute nothing.
