Seriously every other post, every sub seems like nothing but politics. It’s so boring and disgusting. What made reddit great at one time was the diversity of genres and depth. Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems. I have been here since the Reddit exodus. It’s always been this way.
Do different Lemmy servers have different content?
Are certain severs curated?
Where do I find the depth and deep subject matter.
Because everything is politics
This. Fuck man this world is so spoiled by a long peace that people don’t fucking understand the stakes anymore.
Apparently we are rapidly approaching another period of time where just nicely begging people to take this shit seriously isn’t enough and we are going to have to kill a hundred million people or so for another generation can learn this same fucking lesson we’ve been repeating for some 40,000 years.
But no, Love Island is on, so feel free to ignore the incipient fascism bearing down on you and condemn your children to a world where that won’t be possible.
Everything is political, and Lemmy was made as an alternative to Reddit based on ideological reasoning in favor of FOSS and federation. Lemmy was made by communists, and there are a ton of us communists here as a consequence.

Most of us aren’t so privileged that we get to pretend that politics doesn’t control and shape the course of our lives.
You can curate your own feed: use the block button for any communities you don’t want to see.
As for why there’s a lot of politics on lemmy: The west’s leading country just threatened to annihalate an entire civilization yesterday. Kind of a lot going on right now.
If you haven’t notice yet, the world is burning. It’s burning due to the actions of rich political people. That’s really important. People tend to talk about stuff like that.
Comment section of this post is not beating the allegations
Umm ok? Yeah, politics are being discussed everywhere. That’s because politics are important. People trying to bury their heads in the sand and pretend they’re not are a big part of why things are going to hell.
If you don’t like political posts, don’t read them.

If only it were that simple. These nerds pop up all over the place. Like when I posted about the World Cup, nothing but politics-nerds in the comments: https://lemmy.ml/post/45406364
Be the content you want to see.
Also, it’s odd to equate deep subject matter with a lack of politics.
lemmy was created by the people who used to inhabit r/politics; r/socialism; r/communism; r/linux; and r/foss and they coalesced around lemmy.ml
lemmy.world has the bread-and-circuses that you’re looking for.

Yes. Along with all the rabid pro-western propaganda, chauvanism, unexamined privilege, and the insufferable confidence in mistaking naivete and ignorance for common knowledge. You know, all the stuff that should make you feel right at home if all you’re looking for is a reddit 2.0. Then again, there are a number of instances to choose from if that’s what you’re looking for, but .world remains the classic example.
I bet that’s why they’re pushing people onto piefed; to prevent more from being exposed to subsversive reality
Your instance and this filled with (using the analogy from your quote) eastern propaganda and very similar flaws that you have given to the lemmy.world. For me, it sounds like some kind of envy that there exist a powerful rivalry instance, that doesn’t share same opinions and grows bigger and bigger each day.
The problem with your accusation is that it doesn’t hold water. Leftist instances are consistently more correct regarding political views. You can’t just say that Hexbear is wrong for having stances, you need to investigate the stances themselves.
Sorry, everything is politics not just on lemmy
no it’s not
The fact that you’re so avoidant of the inherent politics of the everyday world is a reaction desirable to the status quo, which is itself political. Congratulations, your kind of politics is status-quo-enjoyer which kills countless people every year for you to remain comfortable and blind to politics.
Because:
When was the reddit exodus?
