/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.
So long as people don’t editorialise even further. This used to happen a lot on r/nz before a rule was put in place to stop it
Yeah I get the concern, but also if I wanted to read nzhorror I would. I’m not so down on hearing peoples takes on a story so long as it’s in good faith & not lazy.
