- Finds one person talking about how good their day is or one topic they’re passionate about
I blocked all the news channels, location channels (since they’re 90% news anyways), and a few extra that kept getting bad news related comments or trollish crap, and the top feeds are usually pretty good. They don’t change too much over a day, but at least it no longer feels like doomscrolling.
It’s great that we can individually curate our feeds but what I think the person you replied to is highlighting is that the first impressions a new user may get is repetitive doomer content. That’s the nature of sorting by all and our instance-based approach, but it’s definitely an experience which may put new people off
