Comment on we need more users
Auth@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe info hygiene here is really bad. I thought people here would be better about finding well sourced informative articles to talk about but its the same news slop that dominates other platforms. This is a discussion forum so posts should have something worth discussing. Spamming the same trump action over and over doesnt create any discussion.
Scrolling through the news community is so depressing there is no comments because everyone is thinking “what do you want me to say its bad its awful”

On the contrary, I’ve made a few (not a ton) of what I thought were interesting news posts, but they don’t seem to gain traction.
I think the deeper issue is ragebait works, and the community seems to be content with that.

I guess ragebait really is what the people want. Its a bit sad but oh well.

thats how reddit works, up until p45, there was very little rage bait, after he was elected russia started pushing it heavily on reddit, and thats where we are now with reddit.

It’s addictive. It’s not like I haven’t stepped in it either.
This is what I keep hammering; people can’t help themselves, especially under stress. It needs to be fixed structurally to give us a fighting chance, otherwise we’re gonna end up barely better than Voat and all the other Reddit clones.
