I'm one of the people who has stopped coming here. I'll keep visiting occasionally but the lack of content and pro-east/anti-west rhetoric is just as irritating as the maga/conspiracy crowds on reddit.
Yeah... I've also never watched star trek, or used Linux, or had Firefox and browsing is all that.
I've done all of those but none of them are interests of mine. I like the odd reference but linux is an OS.... it doesn't get more boring than that for me.
Do you visit here/Reddit for some news alongside other stuff, or more other stuff than news?
If the latter, you can somewhat avoid the rhetoric back & forth by blocking out a lot of the news communities, but then you do run into the general content problem more (especially if you're also blocking memes).
I've been looking for more specific subjects now but generally I just browse active/top/hot all. Reddit is getting really bad...
Large portions of Lemmy feel similar to places like /r/sino on Reddit. Personally I like to look at that stuff from time to time just to keep tabs on that flavor of propaganda, but it's pretty detached from reality.
Okay. But you’re here. So … what?
