What's there to be worried about? It's the first G5 level solar storm in 20 years, this has happened before just not for a while.

is this the activity of someone that is legitimately interested in the topic?

im the opposite of worried about northern lights. Northern lights show me the planet is still doing its usual thing and I'm safe.

I think a lot of people are bullshitting on social media. I couldn't see shit in Mass last night. Yet if you go on twitter there are people claiming to have seen BRIGHT lights in Florida. I think a lot of these photos, at least the ones from states south of MA, are fake. People just want their photo to get on local news. Even a lot of the ones from northern states are long exposure shots, and the aurora wasn't visible with the naked eye

I took some photos with my phone last night and they turned out much brighter than what you could see with the naked eye. So the pictures make it look way more intense than it was. (At least, the ones from phones with good night vision -- my other phone couldn't capture it at all.)
Half the sky was glowing purple though, in the mediterranean sea. That seems pretty far south to me.

Possibly, SWPC has issued an extremely rare Category G5 extreme magnetic storm forecast for May 12 as additional CME impacts are expected, including after today's X5.8-class flare

Are proper northern lights close to the arctic actually like the images then or have we been duped all these years by photo tricks?
I drove out last night to probably the best spot around, got super lucky with the timing, but all I saw was some lines in the sky, greyish streaks and a little bit of red glow. It was cool to have seen, but every single sunrise or sunset is a million times more beautiful

Got it from here, you can google translate it.
Dude keeps track of this and updates this article with current developments, but the terminology is strictly scientific, so it may not tell you much.

While the green was a bit hazy while looking at with naked eye, the red streaks were properly visible here.

I'm in Warsaw and I haven't seen shit. Maybe it's the light pollution. Should I still be worried about my computers being affected?

Also worth noting we did have a ton of haze and a cloud layer the other night too. Maybe I could see some pinkish tint in the sky but it's barely perceptible.

apologies, I did not understand what you meant. You mean that you are concerned about the weakening of the magnetic field and how it leaves us exposed to further future storms. Sure, in that way I am, what I meant to say is that the solar storm itself and the flares, though powerful, they aren't that unusual.
You know, maybe what we do need is a colossal flare to wipe out all our technology and "fix" CO2 emissions once and for all, lol, that'd be one way.
