I’ve been enjoying the app and the community quite a bunch! However I do notice that the feed is starting to fill up with lots of negative sentiment.

The technology feed is 40% bad news, the news communities are filled with doom scroll stories and the localized communities are also complaining a lot. Some politics get added to the mix.

Lately I’ve noticed that I feel more negative about the world after a Lemmy visit.

Anyone else noticing that?

    These sorts of vague sentiments, “why is the news full of negativity? And have you noticed common sense is very far from common?” are always popular – right up until one is forced to put a finer point on what popular opinions exactly need to lose support because they lack common sense, and which ongoing crisis exactly needs to have less media exposure so as to increase the ambient positivity
