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.
