Politics, like it or not, is a big part of our culture. Art (memes included), comments on culture. I agree it can get exhausting, but it’s not something that we can hide from either.
Personally, I prefer white quips about the subject compared to the doom scroll articles seen on political news communities.
No. A loud and opinionated minority does not a majority make. Most people aren’t insufferable on the internet, it’s just that those are the easiest ones to spot and the hardest ones to avoid.
See for example: the amount of American libertarians who “bow to nobody and never stop fighting for their freedom and independence” in online discussions vs the amount of people who vote for the US Libertarian Party rather than the GOP.
I agree. I had Reddit filtered pretty well to avoid politics, but Lemmy has very few communities which outright ban politics which makes it very difficult to avoid. I even agree with most of the politics on here but it gets annoying and exhausting when it’s absolutely everywhere. I’ve seen the above meme like 5 times already, I didn’t enjoy it the first time and I’m sure as shit not going to the fifth.
Wish this sub would not allow politics and move the shit over to the politics meme place instead.

Block the sub and find a meme community that’s sanitized to your liking.

All the fuckin normies on lemmy.world. No piracy, no politics, no fun.
look at the responses in other fediverse instances; the no piracy, no politics, no fun crowd is the majority

Totally agree, at least have political or controversial posts tagged
Because scrolling past them is too hard?

I too hate how lemmy doesn’t censor people and communities…
