Does it make sense for me to sell risky stocks for loss now and reinvest into something with less risk?

I entered the workforce in 2020 and likewise, got into investing at a time where everything was green. As a result, I’m now in a place where current and future investments will be going into much safer stocks and ETFs (VOO, VTI, MSFT, etc). However I am still holding a fair portion of risky and volatile stocks I’ve since learned I hate holding (PLUG, PLTR, SQ, ARK ETFs, etc).

In my head, it makes sense for me to sell these stocks, even for a loss, and move that cash back into stocks I feel more comfortable holding, can provide steady gains, and that I know I’ll come out on the other side of alive eventually. Is this the right move to make?
