    For me, there’s so many undesired communities and political communities that it’s easier to just pick the communities that I like subscribe to them instead of blocking everything else. There’s too much to block

    Not unpopular. Lemmy politics is a garbage dump, the entire platform was created as a safe haven for commies and we’re still reeling from it, with many users (especially from .ml) sharing biased news and “memes” that are nothing but propaganda and DAE AMERICA BAD???

    Having political takes isn’t necessarily a bad thing but when your entire personality is “capitalism is bad” then you’re an insufferable twat ruining the platform for everybody else

    Even if you want that stuff, you get a much better perspective in World News and News communities.

    Politics and PoliticalMemes is just a bunch of redditors who aren’t used to being in a non echo chamber social media platform.

        A huge part of the rise of fascism in Germany was Hitler’s skillful use of media.

        Most people got their news from papers, and formed opinions by talking with other people in person, and there was a robust culture attuned to those methods of information which enabled people to form a clear picture of the world, so that their picture was roughly in the neighborhood of reality. Hitler was able to manipulate the new mass media of radio so that he could distort and manipulate people into believing crazy things, because they still had the set of interpretations that were appropriate for an older set of media that wasn’t subject to the same type of skillful manipulation. It was really effective. It was a big part of what led a fairly democratic state to freely choose to elect a person who literally went on to kill millions, on purpose, when anyone who had a clear picture of reality would have been able to see it coming a mile away.

        I will NEVER vote for Kamala Harris, because genocide is a red line for me, and she’s personally responsible for Gaza.

        Politics is just too stressful, I try to avoid it.

        I really think Jill Stein has some great things to say, I think it’s a shame that the duopoly is trying so hard to keep her down when she’s the only one who can really move things forward. I think I’m going to vote for her.

        Voting doesn’t matter. If you really want progress, you definitely shouldn’t vote. I’m not going to. Why would you, even?

        Whoops, sorry about that, I had some sort of fit at the keyboard. Anyway what was I saying?

    There isn’t a non political community here. Every mod of every community makes sure of it.

      Mods sure seem to love the political posts in unrelated communities but God forbid you call a jerk a cuck.

          Lemmy is a group of closed in group thinking communities and if you don’t fit in they will remind you of it.

      I wish Lemmy was more entertaining, and not just a million Linux articles wearing a trenchcoat

    No, Lemmy is better when you block all gaming, Linux, and anime

    Edit: guess it’s an unpopular opinion, yay!
