I'm glad the Fediverse doesn't have any "algorithm". But still, it's a filter bubble. And very biased. And it has the same issues as every other place on the internet. People like to spread emotional stuff, like to complain and mainly post negative stuff, because they're more motivated to write something when they're agitated. And less so in other cases... I don't think there is a solution to this.

My current way is to (occasionally) put away my phone and talk to my neighbors and friends. See what they're up to. But in turn that doesn't inform me about world politics (or tech news) 😉 And to read some random forums and blogs where people write longer, and well reasoned articles. Yeah and I also consume social media (Lemmy) and regular media. And lots of Youtube. I still feel like I'm super biased. But I'm stopping myself from reading too much news anyways. I don't think it's been healthy for me.
