/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.
On a similar note, as a NZer currently residing overseas, it would be nice if articles linked from newshub are provided with an alternative text, as its not available to those outside NZ
I’m a big fan of scraping the article text so we don’t need to wade through the cancer of auto playing videos, cookie faux-consent and whatnot
