The difference between having an algorithm that rewards outrage-bait vs just people sharing stuff.

- I like the term “antagorithm.”

  That is an excellent portmanteau.

What do you mean my feed is full of doom.

- Yeah, the fediverse is filled to the brim with negative propaganda.

  I've had to filter out a lot of instances for being full of propaganda, most likely Russian.

Nah, its just as bad here as anywhere.

Maybe the bots have gotten to us or maybe people genuenly really like sharing rage bait shit.

Thank you for introducing me to the term "bloomscrolling"!

Honestly I’m getting more corporate climate political doom and gloom on here than I was on reddit.

- corporate climate political doom and gloom
  
  Hmm, why do I have a feeling you might be referring to climate change related news as climate political doom and gloom

Oh, here we are - another day and ANOTHER Reddit vs Fediverse meme! I'm soooo sick of all these extremely accurate memes being posted by so many beautiful and intelligent people on here. I bet you even smell good! The nerve of some people...

Man idk what kind of bubble you're living in. Maybe you just like to believe anything you touch in inherently better, but it really isn't. This has and will suffer from all the same pit falls as any other social media.

A Hoya Kerri (heart plant)! :)

My gf had got me one years ago and it's still the only plant I have, it's really cute

I love that antagonism isn’t enforced on the algorithm. Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, etc. rage bait you to continue your consumption, but here I’m free to make myself angry. Antagorithms suck.
