Every time I look at reddit or twitter they’re designed to be filled with the most vile or annoying posts imaginable to keep you scrolling and this place just… doesn’t have that. It’s relieving to not be inherently angry just scrolling through new posts
That’s the beauty of a free, not for profit, decentralized system. The only goal for the developers is to make it a great user experience. It’s not about getting clicks for ad revenue
Sites like twitter, FB, reddit, youtube, for whatever reason always push the most rage-inducing content to their front pages. I guess it helps with “engagement”, and they see it as a positive that people spend more time on their sites… regardless of the psychological consequences of having users angry.
Twitter especially, could just ruin my whole day, with the content it pushes to everyone’s feeds. They really don’t care about our psychological well-being, at all. Standard short-term capitalist thinking.
It’s such a relief man. Visiting reddit after this actually makes you realize how bad things have gotten, on not just reddit, but rest of the internet. So much rage, hate and negativity. This place feels… normal. Reminds me of simpler times.
Just like moving away from twitter
Same. That’s the reason why i’m moving here
