Oml, ntw, you're all good lol. If anything, my apologies for reminding you of it. Glad to hear you've managed your own exposure to this sort of outrage. You don't realise how truly relieving it is to be free of that until you're awhile down the road and prompted to look back (may or may not be instigated by an Irritant™). Finding an alcove of peace in a world that seems desperate to draw you into despair is an act of resistance in its own way.
Perhaps it's a bit naive, and I don't expect it to happen anytime soon, but I hope the culture of online spaces leans more towards this going forward. I don't think the internet will ever be a space where negative sentiments don't flourish, but I think there is more of an awareness that this constant anger is more draining and distracting and harmful than anything else.
