This edition of The Atlantic Daily emphasizes finding joy online amidst the chaos of the internet. Writers and editors suggest their favorite ways to spend time on the web, focusing on activities that uplift and distract from negativity. One notable recommendation is playing The Sims, highlighting the nostalgia and fun in micromanaging virtual lives. Another is engaging with YouTube comments, which, despite the aggressive nature of many forums, can provide heartwarming and positive interactions with strangers. This newsletter aims to steer readers toward more enriching online experiences.
In an effort to suggest more joyful destinations, The Atlantic's writers and editors answer the question: What's your favorite way to spend time online?
So many digital forums are needlessly aggressive, but an earnest YouTube comment thread can briefly restore your faith in your fellow online humans.
