This place is even more negative than Reddit

Fuck billionaires, fuck CEOs, fuck Elon Musk, Fuck AI, fuck capitalism, fuck reddit, fuck nazies, fuck SUVs, fuck ads, fuck republicans, fuck twitter, fuck facebook, fuck Trump, fuck Israel, fuck google, fuck enshittification, fuck Apple, fuck police …

Complain, complain complain. That’s what you people do here all day every day. That’s even what I’m doing right now. Jesus Christ no wonder we all feel like shit all the time. This is the most miserable and cynical circle jerk I’ve ever participated in.

Have a wank, take a nap. You'll feel better.

Hyperreality,

Wanking ain't what it used to be.

THEMASTERMIND,

Yeah fuck wanking .

Then you're doing it wrong Richard. Grab some grease and go to town. :)

Bonesince1997,

Passion communities is where you’ll find what you’re looking for. I fully understand what you are talking about though. I participate in this way, lots of the time. However, communities where people are showing off their creations or talking about a shared interest (not of anything controversial) is more often where you’ll find the calmer places you’re looking for. The front page of Lemmy, much like reddit, is full of fear and arguments.

The front page of Lemmy, much like reddit, is full of fear and arguments.

Fear porn generates clicks and sells ad space.

Thorny_Insight,

I mean… I’ve blocked probably over a thousand users and communities in total and I have content filters for much of what I just listed there but the front page is still negative as hell. I can only imagine what the unfiltered version of that looks like.

I agree that the niche communities are much more pleasant but unfortunelately they’re also extremely quiet. There’s not enough going on in there to keep me entertained for much more than 10 minutes a day. I’ve recently started going back to reddit for that. There are niche subs there than are more active than Lemmy as a whole.

Hyperreality,

There’s not enough going on in there to keep me entertained for much more than 10 minutes a day.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Thorny_Insight,

It wouldn’t be if that meant I did something else instead that isn’t watching youtube

FlaminGoku,

How about you spend time bettering yourself instead of consuming content and bitching?

Learn a hobby, exercise, etc.

_aficionado_,

Yeah, I came here searching or a place less cluttered and political than reddit. Big mistake.

Everything is political. If you don’t agree, it means you’re in a privileged position where you’re part of the majority who isn’t having to deal with their rights being stomped on.

jbk,

Quite literally an unpopular opinion. You got my upvote

Fuck this, fuck me, fuck you, fuck us, fuck we, I’m out

Agree. We, the people here, are malcontents by definition (who left the other place) and boy does it show. And a lot of autism and pedanticness.

HobbitFoot,

And you can have a normal conversation, but then you say one thing that doesn’t fully align with the groupthink and the conversation turns toxic really quick.

So you’ve noticed it too. I’ve also noticed that there’s too much black or white world view here, and no middle ground. It’s tiring.

I’ve found myself visiting less and less.

Blaze,

As always with this kind of thread, I suggest people to check !casualconversation

FiskFisk33,

block the worst offenders, it makes a world of difference

karashta,

I've only blocked a few communities and my feed is not only negativity.

It can be at times when something big drops in the news, but my feed is still flooded with fun memes and interesting articles.

Sounds like, at least partially, it's confirmation bias.

Candelestine,

You forgot “fuck democrats”, which is also very common. Kinda telling that you specifically omitted it though.

Thorny_Insight,

I’m sure you’re more than happy to elaborate on what that tells you about me/this post.

Candelestine,

You would be wrong I guess. If I wanted to I would definitely have done so.

Kaboom,

Theres not even a cat sub here. Wtf I need my daily dose

Subscribe to communities you like, block ones you don’t. We can’t curate your feed for you.

With all due respect, there's more in the direction you mention, but there's more in the direction of opposing views, as well. This was the entire point of moving to the Fediverse: to get away from the restrictions and whims of u/spez and Big Tech.

Keep looking around and talking to other people. This is a better place than Reddit: you just haven't stumbled upon all of the evidence yet. ;)
