0. I'm sorry to read of your sadness. I wish you well, and I value the media you share.
1. You have a perspective that allows you to see things others perhaps cannot see (yet). There is always some way one can exploit such a vantage point to weigh the dice, or adjust one's course a little, to one's relative advantage (to provide some little improvement in the future one would not likely have otherwise achieved). Agreed; hard to see with certainty how to save the world. I'd suggest we live in an age of great-power transition. At the risk of harking on about #Asimov 's #Foundation books, shortening the chaotic periods between stable peaceful periods of relatively democratic hegemony is probably the key.
2. Some #activitypub social media servers are structured to encourage users to moderate their own little gardens within them. The obvious example to me is #PieFed, a link aggregator. I suspect there's a way to leverage this to convey to users that they ought to assume that they alone are responsible for curating their "feeds" (I.E.: hopefully not leaving you to feel any or too much responsibility for it).
3. Would you like someone to suggest philosophy reading that might help, or at least entertain? There's a spectrum of interesting stuff out there from the very internal-locus-of-control #stoic texts, to the balanced conventional wisdom of modern medical textbooks, to the very hippy-dippy philosophies like spiritualism.

I suspect there are other hashtags that would put the matter in front of more erudite minds for their consideration, but I'm ignorant of them. Happy to accept suggestions or boosts.
