Well, I'm a Lemmy visitor but still it applies to both of us:
A constant stream of memes romanticizing and/or normalizing depression, alienation, hopelessness, or any other of those dark states of mind. Often after switching from Home to All, I'd scroll and just keep bumping into these damned things.
It's the volume that I find corrosive and even suspicious, to the point that sometimes I've suspected that the prevalence of these memes may be a deliberate, artificially inflated thing, just one more bot tool in the box for bad-faith actors to nudge as many people as possible to a passive, apathetic, unengaged state of mind.
That is the best way I've seen this written and mirrors how I've felt about Reddit for a while now. Everyone is terminally despondent, and the sheer volume of posts like that seem either intentional or like people are trying to fit in by being as depressed or more so than everyone else.
What is "CMV"?
a subreddit called Change My View.
You post some opinion on something with as much detail as possible as to why you have that opinion and the commenters try to change your view in some way.
The rules are; the OP has to demonstrate they are open to changing their view in some way, the top level comments must be aimed at challenging the OP's view so you can't say you agree with it, and the overall discussion must be civil. The partial or complete view changes have to be certified with a delta, a kind of award unique to that subreddit. The OP or other users are required to reply to the comment which changed their view with a description of how their view changed and the command !delta, which awards a delta to the user who posted the parent comment.
@[email protected] mainly the gore subs. I wish i would have never seen some of this stuff but clicked on it out of curiosity after it got mentioned somewhere...
Sinophobia and racism against Chinese people. Yeah I know sinophobia means exactly that, but I wanted to mention it again because I feel like it.
Every single thread about China(non-political) turns into “China bad” and it’s so freaking annoying to see.
