Then perhaps we should, you know, consider sources?
I’m sorry, this is not personal, but Lemmy/Piefed complains about slop constantly. It’s why we’re here!
Yet they proceed to upvote it onto the front page, every day. Nothing happens when I point it out. Mods don’t do anything, the same posters and communities just keep doing it.
Its frustrating because I love the idea of Lemmy/Piefed, but this is poison for the same reason its poison on Twitter.
I don’t think we can do anything about it until we solve human verification. Not only is human verification a really hard problem to solve (and also while respecting user privacy), there is a for-profit motive to fill the internet with crap (advertisement industry & state propaganda)
Also double-dipping on my comment but that’s why I make a blocklist of all the politics and doomer sublemmys (or whatever they’re called). But there’s always new ones popping up it’s not a sustainable solution.
Btw, I don’t have a problem with politics but it is impossible to have a nuanced discussion on politics on social media so no point reading the 24/7 doomer headlines and then scrolling through partisan idiots bickering in the comments.
I’m so tired boss. I hate how fake and artificial the world has become…

I believe this is an internet in general problem. It’s being filled up with too much shit.

I just don’t see how user verification can be done without it being straight up spyware
