I think the thing that bothers me most about lemmys whirlwind of negativity about everything is that you get people like op, that find something they want to spread negativity about, then they post it to a bunch of communities.
Lemmy is small, so you see this one thing over and over and over again. It's so tiring.
I get that this kind of stuff isn't something to be positive about, I'm just getting so tired of lemmy. At least reddit didn't have a constant stream of negativity. Multiplexed through every subreddit.
I'm convinced it's this kind of thing that's killing the entire thing. You can't build communities on this, so there's less and less people looking every day. I know I look at lemmy a lot less than I used to.
Isn't like every bigger gaming news posted over 100 times on different communities and instances over a period of multiple days, not even including all the reposts of every different gaming outlet?
On lemmy? Yes. And the small nature of it makes it obvious. But lemmy also goes for the negative outrage stuff more than things of interest, and it's smaller, so like I was saying. One person making the same post to a bunch of communities makes it stand out a lot,.
Honestly, I think it's probably just time to delete the app. Lemmy isn't what I hoped it would be. We'll it was at first and for a good few months. But eventually the good people move away.
Thanks for letting us all know!
