When scrolling Lemmy (compared to reddit in the past), all I see is doom and gloom / news. I don’t see interesting conversations or comments to read.
Occasionally I’ll find something, and I’ve been contributing more, but there’s just so much doom that it fills my feed.
I’ve had to unsubscribe from many communities bc it’s just doom news reposts…
Is it just me?
For better or worse, they’re busy creating rather than being overly concerned about their platform.
I don’t how many times in my life I’ve thought “this thing I’m doing is really cool, I should share it!” And immediately follow it up with “yeah but why would I care if anyone else sees it? I’m doing this for me, not them.”
And as time goes on I think less and less about impressing other people and just take pleasure in my own skills and creations, and let me tell you, it’s way better this way.
