Doomscrolling at least is passive. The active version I think would be “Doomsaying”, which I have become addicted to I feel. Going through my comment history, I often find it littered with comments that give a sense of hopelessness and inevitable misery. Highly cynical, sometimes toxic, wouldn’t feel out of place among the lamentations of the undying. Not sure how I got this way, but probably came after a long history of doomscrolling.
