The opposite of schadenfreude is
mudita, a Buddhist term for sympathetic or vicarious joy. It's the joy you feel when someone else succeeds
I could use a little mudita today. What do you have for me, fediverse? Hit me with your successes, the more mundane the better (but I'm all for hearing about your big wins, too)
