My brain squirrels cannot sit still long enough to focus on an ordinary news/current affairs website. It's all so painfully slow and boring. There was (a long time ago) a java script wall of news from all over the world that updated in real time. It closed years ago and I never found anything similar. It was just a wonderful mosaic of headlines and stories that didn't sit still. The mosaic felt alive and if something caught your attention you better click on it before it turns into something else! You kind of see things like this in some movies, where they look at a wall of info on a big screen and everything is moving and updating. It's not waiting for clicks. You have to chase it! Is there anything like that or maybe a site that lets you construct a bunch of real time feeds that update constantly?
p.s. I realise that to many what I'm describing probably sounds like hell on earth but to my brain squirrels it would be heaven 🤣
(Update the first: Looks like the Feedbro Add-on in Firefox is the closest I'm going to get at the moment)
(Update the second: Thanks so much to geekwithsoul for finding that old javascript site I was talking about. I never thought I'd see it again. I've added a pic of what it looks like on my wide screen. Now that's what I call a wall of information ❤️)
This person is not wrong. I'm sadly incapable of breaking the cycle, but for the short periods that I do, my depression is greatly alleviated. Abandoning reddit was probably had the most positive impact on my mental health of anything I've done in years.
Leaving reddit was also one of the best things I ever did for my mental health. Joining this place has been such a positive thing ☺️
