Are you noticing the growing negativity on here? (lemmy.world)

I’ve been enjoying the app and the community quite a bunch! However I do notice that the feed is starting to fill up with lots of negative sentiment.

The technology feed is 40% bad news, the news communities are filled with doom scroll stories and the localized communities are also complaining a lot. Some politics get added to the mix.

Lately I’ve noticed that I feel more negative about the world after a Lemmy visit.

Anyone else noticing that?

I was primarily interested in r/soapmaking, r/instantpot and r/breadmachines. Also some true crime ones - I've joined the ones I could find here but there's hardly anyone in them.
