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?
I don’t follow news because it’s bad for my mental health, so I don’t see the examples you listed. But I do think the initial halo-effect of “all the cool people from Reddit who truly cared about the community are now on Lemmy” is slowly fading as people are settling in more.
