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. This place is relentlessly negative, and I’m no sunny optimist myself.
I aggressively block communities and on some occasions, people who are obvious agenda pushers. It takes a mildly annoying amount of work to clear away the mess and keep it cleared, but it can be done. It’s okay to block shit.
