Just as the title suggest. Is there anyway we can prevent Lemmy from being such a giant sphere of political annoyance just like Reddit? No matter where you go on reddit before the API changes and even now, someone has to bring politics into it. Even in post or subreddits where it’s not needed.

So once again, is there anyway we can stop that from happening and just allow the communities in Lemmy to be genuine?

    I’m with you on this … somewhat. I’m tired of everything being political everywhere. I hate how every discussion goes down with politics. One way to “achieve” this would be if you or someone like you made a lemmy instance where nothing political would be allowed and we were to browse that locally. I myself hate both left wing and right wing equally so I’d love a place where I’m free of politics.

    The other way is much simpler, which is you browse through communities and find what’s political and what’s not and subscribe to them and only browse through your subscriptions.

    However it’s neither possible nor justified to not allow people to get political. 99% of the internet is made of politics and sex
