I want to enjoy Mastodon so much, but I just never see that much discussion. It just feels empty.

Who knew, taking away algorithm-fed drama and rage bait doesn't really excite the brain. But it can be a nice replacement for Twitter, when someone had withdrawal effects.

There is maybe a little bit of rage baiting on Lemmy ... but in today's political environment it may not be considered bait ... just news.

News are (rage) bait by design. They have to get you click the article, it is the only way they can make money.

I wouldn't really consider news as something unique to any platform. I was thinking user made content.
