Then perhaps we should, you know, consider sources?


I'm sorry, this is not personal, but Lemmy/Piefed complains about slop constantly. It's why we're here!

Yet they proceed to upvote it onto the front page, every day. Nothing happens when I point it out. Mods don't do anything, the same posters and communities just keep doing it.

Its frustrating because I love the idea of Lemmy/Piefed, but this is poison for the same reason its poison on Twitter.

    I believe this is an internet in general problem. It’s being filled up with too much shit.

    I don't think we can do anything about it until we solve human verification. Not only is human verification a really hard problem to solve (and also while respecting user privacy), there is a for-profit motive to fill the internet with crap (advertisement industry & state propaganda)

    Also double-dipping on my comment but that's why I make a blocklist of all the politics and doomer sublemmys (or whatever they're called). But there's always new ones popping up it's not a sustainable solution.

    Btw, I don't have a problem with politics but it is impossible to have a nuanced discussion on politics on social media so no point reading the 24/7 doomer headlines and then scrolling through partisan idiots bickering in the comments.
