Are you noticing the growing negativity on here? (lemmy.world)

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?

We're in the middle of a global fascist spasm. If you want to stick your fingers in your ears and pretend it's not happening, I think Threads is trying to be that place.

Just because you're having a spasm over imaginary fascists, it doesn't mean there's a world problem
