    Who knew, taking away algorithm-fed drama and rage bait doesn’t really excite the brain. But it can be a nice replacement for Twitter, when someone had withdrawal effects.

      There is maybe a little bit of rage baiting on Lemmy … but in today’s political environment it may not be considered bait … just news.

        News are (rage) bait by design. They have to get you click the article, it is the only way they can make money.

        I wouldn’t really consider news as something unique to any platform. I was thinking user made content.

      Yeah I just have it to follow some people, companies and projects that don’t really have a good RSS feed.
