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?

Today I've seen someone trying fiction novels for the first time and another post extolling the virtues of Ferrero Roche chocolates.

You see how you are.

Which makes me want to check in and ask if you are ok?

I'm tired of the "DAE" posts that got banned in reddit, and I understand why. There's usually a better way to express this opinion.

To entertain this though, this is an internet wise concept, we're aware of "doomscrolling" for a reason. There's not really a reason to think Lemmy or some other platform would be wildly different.

You see a doomer user and your response is to block the community?

I think I've found the problem... User error.

A lot of them are either bots or are working for some clickbait farm. You will eventually come to realize that you need to block the worse offenders.

What do you mean with "doom" stuff?

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

For me, "doomposting" means not just posting negative news, but posting arguments that it's futile to try and make things better.
