Ask yourself whether your current doom-scrolling and information consumption rate is sustainable for a year.
Make the adjustment. It's time to settle in for a long protracted fight.
You can't be effective if you're reacting to every new shock before it's even confirmed. And they know this.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.
We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

Another way to limit burnout is to be intentional about who you follow on here.
Don't be so quick to follow all the same accounts you followed on Twitter.
Pay attention to how you feel when scrolling your feed.
If you feel outraged, scared and powerless most of the time, maybe unfollow some folks

Novelty exhaustion is a byproduct and in the case of misinformation a goal for autocratic information states like social media, giants of the kind that now are smashed within our government. Because we are unable to cope with the large amount of data we constantly consume

This is how we came up, until were old enough to be let loose as latch key kids.
Still amazed that we survived tbh.
