Would be lovely if you have some source or something to read about.

Consider my interest piqued. I gave the Wikipedia page a skim and it seems like a good starting point

If I understand it right, this is a feature developed from inception on Piefed. I'll just say it here: it's like multireddits. They have default comm group feed, at least on piefed.social. But you also can make your own group feed. Just like multireddit.

I personally would move to a piefed instance once it's more developed and have more choices for front end client / mobile app, since that's the biggest thing I miss from reddit.

Edit: and IIRC piefed also group same posts from different duplicate / similar comms into one "post".

Yep. Yesterday I stumbled across a few old Reddit threads back when TikTok initially get banned. specifically subreddit drama posts.

Reading through it, and seeing how gen z moaning about how they won't be able to connect and find new people and info. I still think they are addicted to the algorithm but I also am able to empathize somewhat in the connection part. Facts are they were born into and grew in near total "antisocial" environment. Constant connection to the internet so it's easy to forego face to face meeting, leading to a cycle of not hanging out physically like older generations did.

Then there were the COVID lockdowns helping itself to the pile of shit.

Peer influence going to TikTok, and then getting fed constantly with their algorithm using the short form content TikTok is infamous for.

It really is tragic when I look at it honestly.

I'm not surprised you said it's the latter. I would say the same before I got professional treatment for my depression-turned-out-BPD2 diagnosis.

now I'm keen to answer it's both. mood own, something I really like could raise my mood, but it also could prevent me from even consume it, for example

it depends in whether its low or high energy emotion, and whether it's unpleasant or pleasant
