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?

I wouldn't subscribe to politics if you want to feel good about the world... And tech is mostly the usual stuff about insane billionaires needing attention from the serfs to feed their little fragile egos.
