My brother in Christ, it seems as though you have neglected bad-hands-5 in the negative prompt.

I definitely don’t hate either of those things, but OP describes Reddit as an “outrage machine”, and I’m just saying that we have the same thing going on here. It’s definitely not as bad yet, it’s just sad to see Lemmy fostering the same kind of outrage that Reddit has.
Redditors are migrating here, but still bringing typical “Reddit” behavior with them, dehumanizing their political adversaries in comment sections and spewing hateful rhetoric to anyone who disagrees.
Just check out /r/politics here, it’s not reddit-specific.
I wasn’t specifically referring to “rage bait”, I was more so referring to the “chamber of anger” that OP mentioned. Navigating this site on the app I’m using is kind of buggy so it’s hard to switch from writing a comment to looking at posts quickly. Here, the second post that I looked at had a hateful comment upvoted to the top of the thread: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/134903/-/comment/532776
Same type of comment that you’d see on Reddit, sad to see this place quickly turn so hateful.
