I want this in literally every other emotion, except for anger, because there's already a site for that called reddit.com

IT here. I don't need a website; I have users.
I miss alt.sysadmin.recovery
“scary devil monastery”.
I've been in SWE in non-enterprise for decades and right now I'm seated with IT and operations because our two teams total less than 15. The amount of users who open tickets with "I have this issue" and then send a screenshot of some error in a browser with absolutely no context... Not even the full browser image, just a small snapshot of the completely meaningless error... As though they expect the IT support people to just know what they were doing? My twin todlers who haven't learned to speak yet are still somehow better at telling me what is wrong when something is wrong.
I'm always amazed at how friendly the IT support people manage these things.
It is with the confidence of decades of experience that I can say that the problem is that you have a bad attitude about your job.

It is with the confidence of decades of experience I can say that to quote Alan Watts aloud is a sign of desperately needing to read another book.

this is a you problem. Worked in IT over 20 years, never been angry. Perhaps you should change careers.
Twitter and facebook are far more effective for that.
I think we can just kinda blanket-statement this and say all social media induces anger, yeah?
All of them can but I don't think they are equal. Back before I deleted twitter about a year ago, no matter what I did, how many accounts I blocked, I'd get a feed of AI generated ragebait. Meanwhile TikTok and Youtube seem to respect my preferences more. There is ragebait on those platforms but it isn't shown to me. Facebook just seems to be entirely Boomers and Gen Xers angry at the news.
Reddit has historically respected your subscriptions but it does look like they are drifting away and making the home page just whatever they want to show you.
I'm actually making this: https://www.feelapp.io
What's a good subreddit for crying? All I get is ragebait and recycled punchlines
