My timeline is attracting too much doom and negativity.

@jwildeboer I recommend @tinker, @PhoenixSerenity and @cckitchen for people actually out there doing positive things
@jwildeboer @tinker @PhoenixSerenity
Thanks @afewbugs for the mention. I reckon we fit the bill for the Internet of Kindness.
️We're an anarchist collective at heart, with a volunteer list of 2000+ local people who have, since 2020, offered their time to be part of what we do.
Every Thursday and every Sunday, we cook around 450 hot meals, and fulfill 130+ separate delivery orders (with around 25 of them having some kind of dietary requirement).
Everything runs for free. No-one pays for food, and no-one is paid for making it. There's no means test at all to "qualify" – we believe everyone has a right to fresh, nutritious food, and we deliver to literally anyone who asks.
We have no owners, no managers, no trustees, no governors. We operate from a squat in the centre of Cambridge. We have a 5-star hygiene rating in our kitchen. We're proud of the community that we're building, and invite anyone local to get involved in any capacity, including eating the food!

@jwildeboer I get some nice stories with #community, #repaircafe, #rewilding
@jwildeboer also, when you follow more people, there comes a point where everything nice gets 20 reboosts. It is wise to block "boosts only" from the boostiest, so that their own posts and replies don’t drown.

My timeline is attracting too much doom and negativity. Can you point me to some folks to follow that DO things like implementing solutions with a smile instead of those that complain and are getting lost in problems, attacking any solution? I need more #IoK — The Internet of Kindness. Thank you for sharing! (Feel free to send as DM, to avoid the nay-sayers and reply-guys jumping on another sea-lioning opportunity)
@jwildeboer consider @hackaday

@jwildeboer not sure if this is your speed, but I've recently started sewing and I followed that hashtag. There are also people doing visible mending with sashiko. There was an art portfolio sharing hashtag a few days ago which I thought was nice.
In general I feel like seeing creative things that people are passionate about is where its at. Maybe more dilution than what you're asking for though.

@fullywoolly Let me just say that I use Inkscape and Inkstitch since years to stitch badges and logos that I make publicly available at https://codeberg.org/jwildeboer/inkstitchMirror and also use my sewing and overlock machine quite regularly

@jwildeboer i follow the bloomscrolling hashtag and boost all the pretty pictures. It helps. I also have a plethora of filters and words muted/blocked. Also, i make a point to post random thoughts when i decide to make posts up here

@jwildeboer I didn't know about Inkstitch. That's so cool! Does your machine support multiple color threads or do you have to swap out and load another file to do that?

@jwildeboer I'd like to think I do, but admittedly, i do boost some concerning stuff and mostly toot silly stuff in Finnish.
However, now that you mentioned this, I'm going to make an effort to at least once a week to toot something proactive for unfucking the world
Also @RadicalGraffiti is a pretty good follow, as it Shouty Person: https://wandering.shop/@clacksee/116914223313189132

@fullywoolly I am using it with my sewing machine plus an embroidery table, so I have to manually switch colours. The files Inkstitch generates add a pause for that so my machine tells me on the display to switch. It’s a bit clumsy, but it works fine for me.

I was gonna suggest #RepairCafe!
I see some nice things on #VisibleMending as well.

@jwildeboer One signal that helps: follow people who post artifacts, change logs, or before-and-after notes instead of only opinions about a topic. Progress has a different texture from discourse. A weekly pass that mutes accounts which only diagnose problems can shift the timeline surprisingly fast.

If you like dog and nature photos, I recommend @dillyd.
If you like small talk about the weather, coffee, and other lighthearted stuff, I recommend @Uncleharvey.
If you like sassy little rabbits, I recommend @Satori and @ADailyViolet.
If you’re looking for good vibes and ideas for how to make the future better in general, I recommend @joybooster and all of the friendly folks at #SolarPunk.
May you find your tribe here.
@lydiaschoch @jwildeboer @Klara @dillyd @Satori @ADailyViolet @joybooster
How nice of you to say that.
But they should be forewarned, I'm not the follow me- follow you kinda tooter. But y'all are welcome to #myday's tootings n tellings over my morning coffee sipping.
