bluesky request. do not follow or reward quote-doomers. people who quote an article and only add something like "you have no idea how bad this is" or "it's over" or "say goodbye to everything you love". they succeed from your stress. they're bringing you down with them. stay awake; not like this.

I've been thinking for a while now about building a custom feed that runs simple sentiment analysis and filters out (or at least labels) such posts

Labelling would be good. I'd assume something like that would be very difficult to fine-tune for a wide audience

Also means that people might end up toning down the hype when they're writing to reach a wider audience. Which absolutely isn't censorship in any way, in fact, shows in a positive light how you can convey exactly the same information freely but in a nuanced, more effective fashion

I think there's valid conversations to be had around content moderation and what people can say freely but also that there is a real cost to words - and not in a "sticks and stones" way but that over-hyped sentiments erode decision making skills, causes fatigue, increases stress etc.

I completely agree. What are some good sentiment analysis tools today?
