  Yep

  It is a design choice to offer a news feed that combines verified news sources with tankie memes — interspersed with photos generated by AI

  I've really tried to provide tools to tame the meme flood and put them into effect on https://PieFed.social - compare that with the front-page (or All feed) of any Lemmy instance (or most PieFed instances, to be fair).

  Gen AI filter is coming.
