The difference between having an algorithm that rewards outrage-bait vs just people sharing stuff.

[–] gullible@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like the term “antagorithm.”

[–] SerotoninSwells@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

That is an excellent portmanteau.

What do you mean my feed is full of doom.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah, the fediverse is filled to the brim with negative propaganda.

[–] fidodo@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've had to filter out a lot of instances for being full of propaganda, most likely Russian.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

There's a lot from.the CCP too, not just the Kremlin.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What negative propaganda

[–] notabird@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How dare you use Brave browser! How dare you drive a car! How dare you have a lawn!

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

All valid criticisms

[–] Kazevic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You forgot "How dare you use Sync for Lemmy!".

[–] icepuncher69@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

What? Not enough constnza stepping on people in your feed or what?

[–] icepuncher69@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago

Nah, its just as bad here as anywhere.

Maybe the bots have gotten to us or maybe people genuenly really like sharing rage bait shit.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago

Thank you for introducing me to the term "bloomscrolling"!

[–] DrNeurohax@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

Oh, here we are - another day and ANOTHER Reddit vs Fediverse meme! I'm soooo sick of all these extremely accurate memes being posted by so many beautiful and intelligent people on here. I bet you even smell good! The nerve of some people...

[–] ninjakitty7@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly I’m getting more corporate climate political doom and gloom on here than I was on reddit.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

corporate climate political doom and gloom

Hmm, why do I have a feeling you might be referring to climate change related news as climate political doom and gloom

[–] kvinayak99@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

There's also something called coo.. nevermind

[–] Lininop@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Man idk what kind of bubble you're living in. Maybe you just like to believe anything you touch in inherently better, but it really isn't. This has and will suffer from all the same pit falls as any other social media.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I'm currently woomscrolling on Tinder.

[–] iByteABit@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

A Hoya Kerri (heart plant)! :)

My gf had got me one years ago and it's still the only plant I have, it's really cute

Meanwhile the unrecognized plights of the real world march onward!

I was never a twitter user, though. I still prefer to doomscroll through Nature.
