I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.

    1. Well, a lot of people jumped ship from other platforms because of politics. So they’re gonna be here.

    2. It’s a time where politics are fucking with all of us, so it’s topical.

    3. reddit still exists and has a larger base, so if you want to talk about stardew valley, just by the nature of numbers that’s where they’re gonna gather.

    4. There are a lot of “lurkers” here, not a lot of posters. Seriously, notice how often The Picard Maneuver, or Stamets keeps popping up.

    God I hate to be the guy who says this especially because I am ABSOLUTELY being hypocritical right now, but you gotta be the change you want.
