    Where are these magical “right” places?

    It’s a subjective matter. I’m not you, I can’t say what brings you joy and motivates you positively.

    Say, Mastodon, Reddit, Youtube any other social site. Pursuing the topic of politics alone is going to push your mental balance towards negativity, pesimism, cynicism and possibly depression. Skip it, limit it, and if you can’t resign from it, then balance it out with pics of funny things, jokes, possibly a community dedicated to some interesting project or hobby.

    Today alone (…)

    The fact that such an experience managed to frustrate you is a strong indicator that you could use a bit more organized approach to the online content.

      “Disengage from the world, and chase escapism, and things will be better” says someone too privileged or too blind to know any better.

        “The Internet is the real world for me, one I can’t choose to escape from, or at least limit to some extent.”

        You don’t realize just how privileged YOU are, to hold such an conviction…
