I think the actually infuriating thing here is that subs like r/interestingasfuck were made because r/mildlyinteresting basically turned into “look at this thing I saw” without any critical evaluation. Those subs soon fell prey to the same shit. Unsurprisingly, it’s now infected the Lemmy communities too. “I saw this thing once” isn’t fucking mildly interesting. It’s fucking annoying.

In this instance I genuinely do not understand how photos of massive construction make anyone go “huh, that’s kinda interesting but not super interesting what a novelty.” If I’m super fucking gracious and OP has never ever seen satellite photos before or even considered the concept that could be slightly novel but that’s a fucking stretch.
