I don’t post on reddit since I know how futile it is to create any change given its size, but given Lemmy is small I might as well give it a try here.
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts here lately similar the doom and gloom clickbait headlines you would see from news companies. In fact, most top posts seem to have that “Reddit feel” to them.
Please know that posts don’t have to all be negative, there exists positive news in the world and especially positive news when it comes to technology.
For example, did you know a release of a new fully open source LLM called OpenLLaMA just got announced by the Researchers at Berkeley AI Research?
People should use RSS feeds more. They give you much more control over the content from websites you frequent to avoid this sort of thing. There are even RSS feeds for Lemmy communities.

We can’t control what other people post on these sites. But we can control whether or not we want to listen.
