Idk about everyone else but dam does Lemmy have some of the most brutal posts over and over... between these messed up news stories, brutal cop stories, and the constant politics posts is there even anything else to see? I think I've had enough internet tonight.
I curate the communities I follow to only be nice, hobby-related things, so when I've had enough of the all feed, there's plenty to see without the horror stories.
Same, I also block communities that consistently show up on my all-feed with negative content. I'd rather miss an interesting post than see negative stuff regularly. There's enough stuff to be depressed about, and those 5 minute pocket-lemmy breaks add up. If all those moments were to be consistently negative, I'm sure it'd do a number on my mental health in the long run.
Maybe I am doing it wrong but for me I see everything and only blocking a community let's me no longer see it. I started doing that but only to communities I know I will never like the content. Stuff like news is a mixed bag.
I feel you. I went on a “happy community/mag” subscription binge just last night in hopes it might help offset the constant feed of pessimism I wake up to.
Yes. unfortunately most of the active posters that do this are smart enough to actually contribute useful content along with news that serve their political interests.
I don’t know why you are being downvoted. You’re right. This is not just one evil person. It’s also a systemic failure of controls and oversight. This would not have been possible without a criminally negligent institution around the perpetrator.
The death rate shot up at the hospital where she worked, and in every single suspicious case of death or near death of a baby, she was present. All 25 of them. I think the next closest was a nurse who was present for 7 of them.
When she stopped working there the suspicious deaths stopped. Deaths on that baby ward pretty much stopped completely actually. I think they had like one on that unit in the years following, compared to 3-4 month when Letby was there.
I'm not saying it's impossible she's innocent, in the same way it's not impossible for my ugly ass to get a date with Michelle Ryan. But it's really, really unlikely.
Missing the most fucked up part. She was having an affair with the doctor who would be called in during such events. She was obsessed with him and this was how she was ensuring he'd come to the rescue.
I can't even imagine what I would do to a nurse that was hurting my baby.. I just had a baby and I was ready to knock out the lactation consultant for pushing my baby's head into my wife's boob a little hard.
