Seriously every other post, every sub seems like nothing but politics. It’s so boring and disgusting. What made reddit great at one time was the diversity of genres and depth. Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems. I have been here since the Reddit exodus. It’s always been this way.
Do different Lemmy servers have different content?
Are certain severs curated?
Where do I find the depth and deep subject matter.
Because all media is political
because politics literally affect every aspect of life? i mean i know it can be tiring and it’s really depressing, i know on mastodon you can filter out posts but idk about lemmy/piefed, but politics will always be talked about and trying to avoid it entirely or saying “i dont do politics” is just ignorance
It’s especially tiring, but important to keep up with, when you have some asshole threatening the entire world.
There was a lot less political stuff when Biden was president.
I swear my feed is like 50% Trump
Trump trump trump I’m fucking sick of it
Then work harder to make sure Trump becomes nothing more than a cautionary tale.
Sanitize your feed maybe? I never see the bronzer golem on here.
You can block keywords like ‘trump’ so those posts don’t show up in your feed
There’s one really cool way to reduce the amount of trump in the world
What kind of silly baby are you?
All life is politics. Go play with your Legos, baby-man.
Legos
Even legos are politics, did you seen the Iranian lego videos?
You picked the wrong instance if you don’t like being a tankie.
Because everything is politics
There is a degree of anount.
I’d say my Reddit subs are similarly set up to my Lemmy communities.
My feed is 80% (US) politics or (F)OSS politics even on stuff that is neither of them in the first place.
Reddit on the other hand was more like 20% potentially political, 75% random stuff like memes or niche sub posts and 5% political/story time subs.Sadly the reddit feed became almost unusable. The r/sysadmin feed is atrocious.

Thank you, it’s so beautiful
His crystal glass stuff is insane, but yeah he’s fantastic in general.
This. Fuck man this world is so spoiled by a long peace that people don’t fucking understand the stakes anymore.
Apparently we are rapidly approaching another period of time where just nicely begging people to take this shit seriously isn’t enough and we are going to have to kill a hundred million people or so for another generation can learn this same fucking lesson we’ve been repeating for some 40,000 years.
But no, Love Island is on, so feel free to ignore the incipient fascism bearing down on you and condemn your children to a world where that won’t be possible.
Got a vasectomy. No kids. Let the nukes fly. I know yall deep down want it because that is more easily imaginable then a world not run by oligarchs.
💯🎯👏👏
I also think it is the times we live in right now. The world is in shambles, not too weird everyone is very political motivated right now. Just wait untill times settle. Then you’ll see the political interest go way down again. But yeah. I am missing reddit on the sports forum part. There is dead.
Change your instance. A lot of the content you see will depend on the instance you are in. ML is notorious for politics and I’m leaving it at that.
But also keep in mind politics are an important part of life and it’s impossible to fully remove that. Especially with a tense political climate as it is right now.
Everything is politics. Avoiding thinking about or discussing consequential things is a political position which is well served almost everywhere else on the internet.
Because politics has broad “appeal” and people are passionate about it. It’s also a form of propaganda. Different communities will use/abuse their power to influence how their users view issues.
I almost never see politics in my feed. But Lemmy itself was created by leftist communists, it was never built to be a politics free space
It takes manual curation if you want to avoid it
Every time I see a politics news or comic or meme I block that community. It’s great my entire feed is fun stuff and cool art
Lol, downvotes because you are doing the smart thing.
Enjoy hiding your head in the sand from the livestreamed genocide and imperialism going on in the world. In that regard, you are worse than the Germans ignorant of the Holocaust when it was happening…
I consider doom scrolling to be an unhealthy way to consume news and an ineffective tool for political change. Protests, strikes, and voting change politics. There is little to be gained by algorithmically filling my body with cortisol and adrenaline.
My head is not in the sand because I read apnews and reuters periodically.
I prefer for lemmy to be an enjoyable place to visit. If it was an endless feed of doom I would uninstall and read a book instead.
If I’d do that, I could look at my feed weekly and scroll through it in 60min max.
Not too unhealthy but not what I want to use it for.
Everything is politics. The moment you think otherwise you become part of the problem.
Why is all of Lemmy politics?
Do you know why the Lemmy platform and the lemmy.ml instance were created in the first place?
Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems.
Politics is orthogonal to depth. The existence of shallow politics in no way suggests the absence of deep politics.
