Yes, but it’s predominantly if not all news and politics or political ideological soap box posts or posts about defecation drama and instance infighting.

Just after having used Lemmy for 3 years, all it really is, is a small platform, for people create a small space to we’re the can freely be hateful and shitty and hostile to opposite political side that they hate.

It’s so they can experience feeling powerful over who they hate. In a sense, it’s their where of serving ‘justice’ keeping people out, defederating, is purposeful and habitual. It makes sense to me honestly, keeping Lemmy small, it’s easier to control and to continue to be able to have a place where they hate who they hate.

It’s annoying when ppl try to act like that isn’t going on at all. Like get real lol are you blind ? That out of touch?

Just be honest about it. Be truthful to what you’re really doing people value honesty not deceit.

I don’t think growing Lemmy is ideal for those folks. Because then you’d have all kinds of different people with all kinds of different perspectives who will call them out and disagree with them.

Then that would make them the minority and they do not want that. The way people behave on here is extreme.

I’ve been using Lemmy frequently lately and I found myself telling myself “Go on reddit today don’t go on lemmy. You need a break from all the extreme constant politics”

I don’t engage in politics online at all for a while.

But that’s all what is posted and talked about here and it’s not interesting and I don’t care about it.

There’s no light hearted fun silly cool niche interesting happy or positive shit here. Everyone is angry and political and people are not interested in that.
