    No one is getting uninformed! Especially when tv, internet and people speak about USA and Trump 24/7. It hardly to miss any of that, except if you live in the mountains with no internet or tv.

      But I don’t watch TV and Lemmy IS my Internet these days.

      People in my friends group stopped posting news stuff because they assume everyone’s seen everything already lol

        Same, I have a similar conundrum. Everytime I go longer than a few days without checking US news some unspeakable shit goes down. Like a dictator getting kidnapped.

        The constant battle between wanting to stay informed and the urge to live peacefully as an off-grid mountain man lol

          Those have too much of the doom and gloom. I want juuust enough to know what’s happening, but not to know every single thing that’s happening if you know what I mean.

      ever since Donald Trump became the president of the USA, i have heard from irl people or news that: the “arrest” of Venezuelas president, threats to conquer Greenland, the US vice president being mad about my country banning a russian supported fascist from being a candidate, Israel funding and support and thats it i think

      though it does make sense considering i dont really have a way to affect the USA and all of those things are about international events
