If the endless firehose of contradictory information has you confused, depressed or feeling hopeless and like giving up, it's doing exactly what it's intended to do.
The only thing I've found so far that can counter it is being far more selective in what I consume.
How about you?

I mean, I guess part of the problem with social media (and the internet in general) is that there are just SO MANY words available to sift thru… a veritable firehose of them! Separating signal from noise is an essential component of any adequate doomscrolling regimen. Skipping becomes unavoidable.

#atproto is cooool! I've put together a whole bunch of experiments. storing/restoring a directory of files, capturing blobs from the firehose, a distributed job queue, syncing markdown files as a series of posts, and being able to store articles in the pds and make it a website.
