Reddit slowly became filled with hate - Lemmy.world
I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over
time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every
single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last
few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I
do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.
This is an ongoing problem with our Information Age. The fediverse already has this problem, though to a much lesser degree than reddit. Look at the structure of titles of threads on the political magazines/communities here. They are designed to make you outraged, because the sources they come from made their titles with engagement in mind and that permeates over to here. My hope is that the group of people on the fediverse, who are more interested in the future of the internet than most, will give rise to an idea that helps combat this problem.
