Honestly Lemmy gets mentally draining, constant political drama that is guaranteed to lean left, barely any non-partisan or neutral discussions happen here and god forbid anyone say anything that can be seen as conservative because a barrage of insults are certain to come your way.
While I support the Lemmy project there are quite a few communities that I had subscribed to on Reddit that are missing here.
something tells me you whining about not having enough conservative propaganda on a site, that wants nothing to do with it, go back to reddit.
My “whining” is because of people like /u/dickalan@lemmy.world. This is what makes Lemmy mentally draining, they’re hellbent on their political ideology and if you don’t conform you get ousted, fed to the fishes so to speak.
I hear you.
I’d never really encountered the nutty parts of progressive politics until coming to Lemmy. Often times you don’t need to say something conservative, but merely say something that challenges a poorly conceived thought bubble and you get piled on.
There’s a really strong sense of idealism here. A lot of users deal in absolutes and don’t seem able to engage with the nuance of life.
As anti-establishment and highly critical of the Democratic Party I have seen the exact same thing here is on Reddit
Yeah, I just want beast mode on his ass and will probably get that comment removed. I just posted above you, but I don’t care anymore.
There are orders of magnitude difference in the severity.
I had to make an account that had no news and tried to limit anything that could regularly get too political for mental health
I have a good word filter list that seems to do the trick. Apart from when the titles are “things am I right?” And the description is “this ^”, no word filter will work on that. Wish there was a politics tag.
Lemmy sucks it just sucks different, its the photo negative of truth social and anyone who thinks that this place isnt just a different echo chamber is deluded.
Bro, these are real people with real opinions and you’re just shitting on all of that like it’s nothing, and the truth social comparison, jump up your own ass
Yeah, right propaganda is blatant, untruth, and whipping men who feel insignificant into a frenzy, fuck off you weirdo, go find your safe space backthere on Reddit dip shit. You have the hallmark of a person that cannot control what information gets into their brain, you know, keyword blocks, or a any thing you can to save yourself the mental anguish you clearly feel on a daily basis that you subject yourself to, I feel no sympathy for people that Can’t control what triggers them, again fuck you in the face, I don’t care if I’m gonna get dinged here on Lemmy . I’ve said what I have to say.
You do realize you just proved me right.
Congrats you’re sticking in a round in a place you’re not wanted you’re clearly one in 1 million kid. Do you want to open yourself to more abuse You fucking glutton for punishment
Sheesh, you’re whipped.
No matter what happens, I always expect Lemmy to have the worse possible take.
I also don’t like that politics seems to spill into every community
This is the case on reddit too. Politics creeps into everything.
It’s weird that you complain about what you subject yourself to, that’s a sin according to the satanic Bible
Yes! This right bloody here, not everything needs to be political!
Unfortunately, everything is affected by politics.
By politics they mean anything that’s left-wing. Right-wing stuff like causal racism isn’t seen as political since it’s so normalized in America.
DING DING DING
Not really, need more popular hobby communities as they are often places that politics don’t impact
