Comment on Ask HN: Does your mood affect your behavior on social media? How?

Comments

For sure. I have to periodically prune my social media accounts because whenever I hear about the latest atrocity, failure of the system, injustice, etc, I get all fired up and become a wannabe activist who thinks we can change the world with software.

I'll go to bed feeling like I've done my part before waking up to a crippling fear that I've been penalized for criticizing capitalism or the political system or something. It's a constant cycle between "optimistic and morally justified criticism" and "self-censorship" that's frankly exhausting.

How about you?
