I have been more than 2 years on Lemmy and I have had an amazing experience with everything, but lately I see more and more US politics on all! I also see new communities regarding US politics + newspapers about the US, cross-posting same article in multiple communities and so on.
It’s only me who thinks this is too much? Anyone else that have noticed it?
After reading through this thread, I want to mention that I’m feeling the same way as you and with the amount of politics and uncomfortable discussions I’m seeing, I find that I prefer to go find discussions that are more relaxing instead. This also kind of also reminds me of the ideas of a community which I’m not able to think of what to call it, or I would probably have created it already. Someone did give me an explanation in DM that I think fits it, but still not sure what to call it.
I have been finding myself uncomfortable with a lot of things posted in politics, News, Global News, and some in Not The Onion, Memes. I’m also finding myself not wanting to look inside the technology community because I’m not interested in the latest and the greatest shit since it feels like we are heading for a disaster. Right now, I’m just thinking of ideas on what can be done to make it better, block a lot of the negative stuff out, and focus on getting back into a more peaceful wilderness-like area.
