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?

And there's a difference between demanding everyone else post how you want them to and going somewhere people are already posting how you want them to.

You have plenty of options. You don't need to clutter this place up with whining. Post the sort of stuff you want to see or go somewhere people are already doing that.

I did post what I want to see. A reasonable take about not everything needing to be doomer central, I'm not denying negative things happening..
