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?

    It’s not just you, but it’s not just Lemmy either. Anywhere I go, I need to prune subs or else my feed becomes more and more pessimistic.

    I think as a species we have a mental bias that focuses on what needs changing and not what’s okay as it is.

      I’m convinced that we can address needs for changes while not being doomsday cultists either; I’m pretty much doing it as much as I can while not being a drama queen about it and generally shutting the fuck up.

      But it doesn’t get me much attention which I guess is what the cultists are after.

        People are tiring of the shouting, though. The cultists will find out eventually that people can’t be mad all the time if you want your shit to work.
