/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.

    however they don’t cover every story

    That’s because some stories are not worth covering and don’t contribute to constructive discussion.
