I don’t post on reddit since I know how futile it is to create any change given its size, but given Lemmy is small I might as well give it a try here.

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts here lately similar the doom and gloom clickbait headlines you would see from news companies. In fact, most top posts seem to have that “Reddit feel” to them.

Please know that posts don’t have to all be negative, there exists positive news in the world and especially positive news when it comes to technology.

For example, did you know a release of a new fully open source LLM called OpenLLaMA just got announced by the Researchers at Berkeley AI Research?

    Oh ok, I thought you were talking about the content. Because the original question/post was about the content.

      Social media pushes the type of content OP is talking about. Content with interesting/clickbaity titles is rewarded on every social media website. This leads to doomscrolling.

        So it´s a sensible idea for OP to try and reach out to the actual people within the community so that they don´t fall for what the design of the platform wants them to do.
