I did this some time ago - I have a very heavily filtered Mastodon feed, and a carefully curated RSS feed - both mostly around tech news, and as little to do with LLMs as possible.
Don’t regret this for a minute from a mental health perspective, especially when something happens like this.
Yeah it was for me too. I ended up deleting the ABC app because I was compulsively checking it every 20 or so minutes for most of yesterday. They showed photos of the victims (taken before it happened) and that broke me. I just couldn’t deal with it and broke down. I’ve still checked the website too many times today, but I’m slightly more composed than yesterday.
I just wanted to drop in and make sure everybody was holding up okay, or i guess better than I was. Hugs, not that that feels very helpful at the moment, at least not to me :/
Same, I’ve had to limit my exposure to the news and online commentary because it was really affecting me yesterday.
