    For me, there’s so many undesired communities and political communities that it’s easier to just pick the communities that I like subscribe to them instead of blocking everything else. There’s too much to block

    Not unpopular. Lemmy politics is a garbage dump, the entire platform was created as a safe haven for commies and we’re still reeling from it, with many users (especially from .ml) sharing biased news and “memes” that are nothing but propaganda and DAE AMERICA BAD???

    Having political takes isn’t necessarily a bad thing but when your entire personality is “capitalism is bad” then you’re an insufferable twat ruining the platform for everybody else

      I wish Lemmy was more entertaining, and not just a million Linux articles wearing a trenchcoat

      I like that connect let’s you block an instance and then has comments from users of said instance overwritten with a spoiler-type tag. That way you can decide to read those comments or not (I sometimes open them in non political threads).

    What the hell is left to browse after that?

    Lemmy is small enough as it is.

    I don’t disagree as such but, eh.

    Even if you want that stuff, you get a much better perspective in World News and News communities.

    Politics and PoliticalMemes is just a bunch of redditors who aren’t used to being in a non echo chamber social media platform.

    There isn’t a non political community here. Every mod of every community makes sure of it.

      Mods sure seem to love the political posts in unrelated communities but God forbid you call a jerk a cuck.

        Naw, they only like it when you are with them 100% on every detail of their extremes.

          Lemmy is a group of closed in group thinking communities and if you don’t fit in they will remind you of it.

    Filtering out words in posts has worked well for me. I can still get news/politics in small doses without 90% of the noise
