1 year agoI agree. It’s the nature of the news. Vanilla feed has lots of news, and even localized communities (countries, cities) are more about news. Could be as simple as that.
I’m not sure if we agree about the meaning of my post. My comment/question was more about the Lemmy feed. Nobody is arguing that the news is full of negativity (it sells) and I don’t think I was making comments about people’s common sense or anything else related to society.
My feed is pretty vanilla, few filters. And in the last 2 weeks I noticed that a lot of what drips into my feed is based on negative sentiment. Something that is inherit to news maybe, but I figured Lemmy was more about communities than it is about news articles. I don’t think this topic is too vague to put a finger on, but perhaps my post has some of that same sentiment included; making it seem like a complaint too much.
