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?
Yes! I’m also very tired of the repetitive “capitalism bad. America bad. XYZ terrible for the environment” replies. We get it, you have things you don’t like. You don’t need to repeat it on literally every single subject that exists. There are so many low-effort comments that just recycle the same 3 subjects over and over again, regardless of the actual original topic.
Yeah, the ratio of fanatics and extremists to regular people is very high here.
It’s mostly bots and LLMs spreading authoritarian propaganda, not real people.
