We have very different fedi interactions. Have a nice day!
Have a nice fuck you day!
Yeah I agr--
Have a nice day!
"This fucking place stinks! It's a piece of shit. I'm done! I quit! Fuck you!"
*turns up an hour later*
Even if fedi was pure and perfect, it still exists within a wider ecosystem of algo-driven rage and it's influence leaks in from every side. It's not just that we don't exclusively get our news from the fedi it's that news articles themselves are optimized for rage, the writers are deeply under it's spell, politician's media strategy is optimized for it.
True, there's definitely that. I guess I just wish there was more thought between that and "do I really need to post this?"
And those who buck the system are fired.
......... or worse.
And we're all socialized by corporate platforms to engage with eachother in a way that prioritizes engagement, which we bring with us when we come to the fediverse
Now I'm raging at your misuse of "it's"

My ragebait is vegan, so you can get mad guilt free.
> Veganism is abstainment from, as far as is possible and practicable, the exploitation of animals for any purpose.
> Editable meme templates are "exploitables".
> Memes with animals are animal exploitation.
> These are therefore not vegan and hereby banned from /c/vegan@lemmy.world.
Carnist Troll detected
Everything is banned on c/vegan.
Can’t even post a nice steak there.
I'd imagine it's a peaceful place, though.
Because they're not allowed to have beef with others.
Nice. My ragebait is mostly solar powered so also largely guilt free.

Our garbage in this case
The thing is, this 100% organic rage is OUR rage, not the rage of our supposed technofeudal overlords.
I just like it when people post the sandwiches
Geordi’s visor can see all ends of the electromagnetic spectrum, but even he can’t find the source of some Fediverse arguments. It really is farm-to-table rage here. 😂

Sadly this is not true. We do have a recommendation system, called Top. And it spamms me with enraging american politics when I go to All.
If it is Top, then that is what people are choosing to upvote. But you don't have to browse by Top. PieFed even offers keyword filters, plus the ability to unsubscribe from all such communities while also allowing you to see them with just the touch of a button to go to a Topic Feed showing it when you (rarely) actually do want it. You could also replicate this behavior in Lemmy, but it takes having one account per Internet area and that's a huge pain. Or you could just sort by New. Or block the users submitting such content. The list of configuration options available to you is practically endless, and nowhere explained in the slightest degree that would be helpful:-).
!nonpolitical_comics@piefed.social does a pretty good job of keeping that stuff out.

less free range than you'd think. I would say at least 30% of content on the fediverse is bot originated. 5-16% of commentary is AI generated.
Ok, 5-16% is precise enough that you must have an interesting methodology to share but you were waiting for a question to prompt an answer. This is that comment.
source: it was revealed to me in a dream
Yeah "I would say" does not give me confidence that there was, uh, any methodology to speak of. I'd be happy to be wrong though.

Reddit has only gotten worse since the company went public. It's just rage bait and ads now.

Thanks guys. This entire thread is killing me.
Outside of the ethical considerations, I'm not militant about the organic label. But I stopped by this little health food store in a tiny town (think ~1k pop.) in a very red state, and she told me that I would never buy brussel sprouts from anywhere else after trying her's. I was dubious at first, but I just cooked them a few hours ago, and she was absolutely correct! Best sprouts I've ever had!
The circlejerk symbol on the bottom right is a bit weird, but doable.

Just like mama used to make
Hell yeah! But don’t forget the beans
I went and scrolled facebook recently and it is absolutely crazy. You get some ads, sure, and a few things that real people posted, but like half of what is on there feels like some kind of shady psychological experiment.
It's like a whole spectrum of flavors of ultra-processed engagement bait. Much of it is made to look like normal people posting normal things, just with a "follow" next to the name and 5,000 replies from kind old people trapped in a rabbit hole they don't even know exists.
I can't even fathom what contemporary Facebook is like. I deleted it in, I think, 2009 or thereabouts, right after they changed the timeline from reverse chronological to whatever their first iteration of the engagement-based one is. I thought that sucked pretty bad, so, yeah, can't even imagine how bad it is today.
Posting current events in the appropriate communities should not be considered "rage". People deserve to be informed and have the ability to plan for the future.
What you are doing is essentially raging against the news.
I mean things like GIFT are always going to be with us but this feels like the normal level of being angry at idiots on the internet versus turbo corpo enshittification
