I’m a normie, I dont Linux, I dont communist, I dont vegan, I dont FOSS, I dont care about hiding behind over 9000 proxies for muh privacy.
I used to Reddit for memes, lulz and banter but they killed my preferred app and turned the site to shit so I bounced to the alternative, but in the last year this place is becoming increasingly fuckin negative, I find more actual humor on facebook.
Some of you need to laugh at a fart joke once in a while.
I agree. While 99% of the Star Trek stuff is humor, and most of the stuff posted here (outside of politics) is as well, I feel you. We’ve done great things covering hockey and F1. It’s just that this kind of platform tends to attract a very specific demographic. If you don’t see communities that fit your interests, I am willing to help you create and foster them.
I completely agree. What’s more, none of my hobbies have a lot of posts. I myself am an occasional poster at best and I’m not interested in being one of at most 4 people posting in those communities. I’m thinking about finding a third party or otherwise foss or just better reddit client and just browsing.
Lastly, it’s fucking impossible to avoid politics on lemmy, american politics especially. Even in communities that I wouldn’t say are explicitly political, people find ways to squirm in some bullshit. I’m tired, boss. Mostly I’m tired of people being ugly to each other.

I have the same experience. It’s even worse because I do Linux and FOSS and privacy and vegetarian but make a comment or post at your peril because people love to downvote and argue over literally everything.
All of fucking Lemmy.

I commented on one of my other accounts that I.was looking at the BYD electric sedan because its cheap, fast AF and I can charge it off my home solar.
Apparently I am party to the slaughter of The Uyghur people and I should be ashamed of myself.
Why not just block the communities you don’t want to see?
