When scrolling Lemmy (compared to reddit in the past), all I see is doom and gloom / news. I don’t see interesting conversations or comments to read.
Occasionally I’ll find something, and I’ve been contributing more, but there’s just so much doom that it fills my feed.
I’ve had to unsubscribe from many communities bc it’s just doom news reposts…
Is it just me?
We do need to address certain toxic traits that are bringing things down, hyper negativity is the default as well as intense partisanship to the point where anyone with a slightly unpopular opinion is instantly labeled as an troll, bot, or agent of dark forces - you can see it a dozen times just in this thread.
There is no debate here because anyone who doesn’t follow the groupthink is chased out, the news is super biased because of this but it also spills over in to everywhere.
I think there are too many people that think they should be the dictator of lemmy, we really need to start up voting good posts and useful content rather than knee-jerk down voting.
Yep. It’s like everytime I comment maybe we are not really making ukrainian lifes easier by giving them bombs ppl will insult me or at the very least call me russian agent. I’ve never been in Russia, have 0 russian/simpatizer friends and I think Putin is a despot, bc he is. Five comments insulting me have been removed already. Please keep up the good work.
I can’t even tell if this is satire.
I know my opinion is very unpopular, but apparently at least 7 ppl here think I deserve to be insulted for it.
The echochamber formed fast and hard here. It’s really sad to see. It feels less like a new place and more like another clubhouse. And ffs, content is so slow. Gotta surf top of all time and still barely find content.
