Discover a brighter world, one story at a time.

Hello,

I been working on this website/app these last few years, basically trying to show that there are a lot of very hard working people trying to make the world a better place and the news you choose to focus on has a big impact on your mood/life so try to not get too absorbed into the negative sensationalized media. My website/app offers an alternative way to stay informed. Would love to hear feedback on potential improvements.

Sincerely, Happy Daze

    While that is very cool and I totally love the idea, it is important not to overdose on hopium and I hope it doesn't become like similar reddit communities that tend to devolve into perseverence porn or the depressing trend of people thinking we can just invent our way out of this self made apocalypse and the intrinsically relevant reverence for some tech billionaires or entrepreneurial solutions to problems inherent to capitalism. We absolutely do need to acknowledge how fucked everything is and let that motivate us to also try to improve things.

    In short I hope that this space is going to be welcoming to people finding creative ways to smash the beast within whose belly we are trapped in.

      I understand where you are coming from and your concerns are valid. I designed this not as a replacement for your typical news but a temporary respite from the doom and gloom... A place where you can be in a Happy Daze if you will.

        In that case I appreciate what you are going for, and a nice complimentary community can be found over at hexbear.net/c/bloomer though you might occasionally find posts celebrating for example a billionaire getting imploded in their vanity submarine.

        I would definitely suggest crossposting stuff there because we could all use a bit more good news in our feed and it isn't the most active comm to be sure.
