I agree completely.

I see some people below saying "curate your feed". But this isn't viable because:

  • it takes too much effort, even for a statistically frequent user
  • doesn't work when you're logged out
  • and this is the most important part - I don't want to curate myself into an echo chamber.

The problem is with the user base. The user base is extremely susceptible to low effort rage baiting. It's full of immature kids and intellectually dishonest users.

That's why I'm here too. Unfortunately I've seen the same amount of ragebait on the front page as I see on reddit.

Reddit keeps pushing on being a closed platform, now rolling out mandatory logging for old.reddit.com - worth pushing for the fediverse again? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I agree with you.

I sought out lemmy first during the reddit API closure saga. I started using it less when the quality started to decline to to corporatization and enshittification. Requiring logins to view content is the last straw that kicked me off reddit.

The most important lesson this move to lemmy has taught me: if we're being served trash content, we can't blame "the algorithm". The basis of the fault lies with the users. Lemmy has been absolutely no short of ragebait, engagement bait, group think, and crazies.
