I find callouts like this ironic considering the all feed for Lemmy is exactly the same thing minus the ads.

At least there are memes. Star Trek, D&D and Linux memes, but still. Also the angry pundentry is in the comments.

Listen here, FOOL, there's also fossilesque single handedly keeping sciencememes alive.

I use my own curated feed most of the time. Not saying there aren't other things, but the all feed is easily 75% doom scroll usually.

That's what the blocklists are for.

Nah, just sub to the decent communities and avoid all. That's what I did on Reddit, and it works pretty well here.

Most of that is just copying headlines and posting links to news sites though... Lazy posting but it is more a symptom of the disease that would most likely be cured if the root problem was cured.

Monkey see, monkey do

Can't share good news if good news doesn't exist.

Check out a newsletter called "Fix the News". It's a weekly-ish roundup of positive world news, and no it isn't things like kittens being saved from trees. It's major stuff.

how do you spend this much time on Lemmy without finding anything positive
