Comment on I made a website called Happy Daze that only features positive science news

While that is very cool and I totally love the idea, it is important not to overdose on hopium and I hope it doesn’t become like similar reddit communities that tend to devolve into perseverence porn or the depressing trend of people thinking we can just invent our way out of this self made apocalypse and the intrinsically relevant reverence for some tech billionaires or entrepreneurial solutions to problems inherent to capitalism. We absolutely do need to acknowledge how fucked everything is and let that motivate us to also try to improve things.

I understand where you are coming from and your concerns are valid. I designed this not as a replacement for your typical news but a temporary respite from the doom and gloom… A place where you can be in a Happy Daze if you will.

In that case I appreciate what you are going for, and a nice complimentary community can be found over at hexbear.net/c/bloomer though you might occasionally find posts celebrating for example a billionaire getting imploded in their vanity submarine.
