Why not just switch your default view to subscribed?

"All" was awful on reddit, it's slightly less awful on lemmy but still bad.

It’s up to you to curate your experience. If you opt for the firehose, you’re gonna get everything, sludge included. At a minimum block what you don’t like, or even better subscribe to what you do like. But it’s on you.

This isn't Twitter or Facebook. You choose your home instance and you choose what you see (except when browsing global). Essentially, your "algorithm" is a reflection of yourself. You might need to clean up your subscriptions. This almost feels like victim-blaming, but I have a handful of profiles on various home instances and they all give me vastly different feeds.

I definitely feel it, I've been using the Internet less overall for the same reason. Something important to remember too is that it's an election year with a lot of stuff going on in the world, but it's so much effort to block everything. I've been using Kbin less because the only way to really deal with spam is to block the endless bot accounts. I'm mostly just on Beehaw because I like the community, I've honestly found a large portion of the other Lemmy's to be very inflammatory. It's not worth having other people in your life, so why have it on the Internet?

Connect with real people, it's more fun of a time waste, if not a little more effort. (Not that we aren't real on the internet, just that the attitudes differ).

Godspeed GNU, hope you find yourself a place that works for you

How are you filtering the site so that's what you see?

Or are you just another person being dramatic about seeing jeans and animals in sunglasses?
