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?
Fear and anger sell, which is why so much news media is focused on things that make people angry and afraid. Same with politicians. This place isn’t inherently trying to push anything (not the way the media does), but it certainly reflects the stuff that people are talking about.
Lemmy on the whole is absolutely trying to push something: CCP and Kremlin propaganda.
No, some people might be, but Lemmy isn’t a corporate entity like Reddit or Facebook, it just reflects the users (some of whom are shills).
Yes, you’re right.
