The news is supposed to tell us what’s happening in the world. It doesn’t. It tells us what’s going wrong.

    Exactly this. Well said. I call it the ‘glorification of defeat’. You see it all over the place, including Lemmy. This idea that everything is bad, everyone is depressed, and that there’s nothing we can do about it except shut up and die. News like this is vital to counter those falsehoods, and it’s shameful that news outlets don’t do more to propagate them. Luckily for us on Lemmy we’ve got subs like yours spreading the good news, for which I for one am extremely grateful for! :)
