along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you’re allowed to see

    For me it was the bots, rage-bait and doxing. I hope Lemmy stays niche, cuz’ in my experience - popularity = trash community.

      Celebrity worship(or worship in general) is always my stopping point. 9/10 posts on reddit now are meme with, or posts about some actor.

      rage baiting on here is exploding. world news and news community are like 75% rage bait with editorialized headline nonsense the past month. and it gets tons of commentary, and if you point out the editorializing and the lies you get downvoted or reported by the delsuional nutbags.

      shit’s wild.

        You get downvoted and reported because of your extreme views on women and your petulant whining about how your “facts” about Israel make people think you’re a Zionist.

            if you point out the editorializing and the lies you get downvoted or reported by the delsuional nutbags.

            Do posters here editorialize things to make women appear better than what you and @TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world believe them to be?

            Is it only delusional nutbags that think women are not a monolith and shouldn’t be cast as money-grubbing whores?

            Then so be it if my comment proves his point. It should happen more often on this site. The incels are frothing at the mouth here.

              If you had a sliver of self awareness, you’ll see why you’re proving his point. But you don’t and you won’t, so you’ll continue making up stuff about me, this further demonstrating the spirit of his claim.

                Oh no, you’ve cut me to my core with this comment! I’m devastated that Zionists might find my feminism threatening and they might feel censored by being called out for their bad takes!

        I was banned from News, and blocking it was the best thing that’s happened to Lemmy. My All feed went from 7/38 Trump posts to 1 out 38 Trump posts.

        The high frequency of simple two sentence comments like, “I bet MAGA is sad right now. XD. Those subhuman conerva-stupids are getting what they deserve,” suggests that the perceived popularity might not be real.

        I think this platform would become more popular if political subreddits weren’t automatically included in the All feed. There aren’t enough people to dilute the propoganda. It gives a bad first impression.

          I just unsubscribed to News myself for the same reason. I do like keeping up with what’s going on in the world, but what gets posted is WAY too much politics. It brings in the negativity, and in your opinion that negativity spreads. I read a thread the other day about the Artemis launch and the top comments were all negative. It takes me not want to post or engage.

          I’m going to start browsing only subscribed communities and see if that is any different.
