/r/newzealand is often remembered as having negative vibes, and tons of complaining. I think the major contributor to those bad vibes are the clickbait / ragebait articles from Stuff and NZ Herald.
For some reason people kept upvoting them, even though the articles clearly never added anything of worth. The discussions around the content didn’t go anywhere, and were often just people having a whinge.
Is there a way to filter them out on Lemmy?
Edit: The way I filter them out is by blocking anyone that posts links, but there might be another way.
Anything that impacts society can be read as political if you get to this level. So anything contentious would be off the table. I’m not necessarily disagreeing, just trying to think of what would be left and how much effort it would be to enforce.
