Everybody's angry all the time
Colin Devroe in John Gruber on X:
I post seldomly. I never said anything because everybody online is angry at every single thing these days. It is unbearable. I almost cannot take it.
This isn't confined to engagement farming social platforms. I feel like it's permeated the entire fabric of online life. Niche forums and even personal blogs to some extent.
Lately I've been diligent about culling my feed reader to get rid of anyone who's mostly writing about how bad things are. Colin almost cannot take it. I can't. It's an infectious disease. The more anger to which I'm exposed, the angrier I feel myself.
Maybe I should sign up for X. LOL! But seriously. Guys. Gals. Colin quotes John Gruber in that post:
If you think the world is full of fun and amazing people and things, that humanity’s defining feature is our collective ability to solve any problem, that the only time better to be alive than today is tomorrow
This is it.
