Does anyone have those they suggest following here on the Fediverse for decent on-the-ground news or thought-provoking discussion? I was searching today and there is a large volume of posts which are not these things...
If someone built a robot that boosted every comment that was text but no pictures 24 hours later after it was posted then that might increase the percent of visible posts that are discussions
There are some robots that post information from news articles on here I follow them
I also went through a muting spree recently that does the same thing - all picture and porn bots muted - I should probably just block them instead.
They bring no value to my online life, just unwanted distraction. Thieves of my time. Good riddance.
@UncleIroh @shortstories Good move.
@DoubleD what would you want to discuss?
@Mike_Microwave Fair point. Posting in a bit.
I also want decent, thoughtful discussion/news. Slim pickings here.
I'm getting tired of the @shortstories spam, the constant "Fake and Gayism", the anti-Christian hate and fake paganism, and the sub-100 IQ reflexive takes.
It might be time for me to take a long break.
@UncleIroh I see your frustration in posts at times. If you believe it best, do so.
Appreciate it.
@DoubleD
I just block out robots that post pictures and follow all the people that post any text that is something other than pictures that look like they are actually talking about something instead of just posting pictures at least one time
