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.
It’s because Lemmy mainly consists of hyper-frustrated leftists who treat it as their safe space echo chamber.
There’s good reason to be a hyper-frustrated leftist in this shitty world. Not sure I see it as a safe space echo chamber though. Everyone is welcome to join and voice their opinion as long as they aren’t being racists, bigots or spreading disinformation on most instances. Problem is that the right wing around the world only really has one policy, and that’s being racist biggots who try to spread fear and hate while denying simple scientific facts and data.
