You know, i do actually very often concur with these kinds of content, like the ones saying billionaires are leaches on society and governments are often used as a weapon to protect the ruling classes.
But man… when i come to lemmy i kinda want to only see memes, and funny stuff… even communities that are not niches to political content get political way too often. Like gotdammit, when i get to c/comics i just want to see funny drawings, i’m way too tired to want to see your lame class war comic…
Is that a feeling i’m the only one feeling?
edit: i think what makes it worse is that very often they’re not even funny, just literal propaganda, “good guy propaganda”, maybe, but still propaganda
edit n2: edited title and body slightly to be “open ended” on mod’s request
You are not alone. This place often feels like an astroturfed propaganda disbursement machine, even with a lot of filters and block lists.
I’m more tired of dozens of reposts of the same porn that I can’t filter out because NSFW is a catch-all for anything 18+. I also have an issue with the quality of the said porn :-P
People who complain about content on lemmy should probably just look for different communities. Or maybe not be psychotic right-wingers looking for 8chan edgelord content.
The amount of hate I get every time when I call out political opinions posted as “memes” is incredible. Every time it’s either some mental gymnastics about how it actually counts as meme or alternatively ad-hominem accusations about my underlaying motives of only calling out left-wing political memes and never right-wing ones (I wonder why).
The truth is that my feed is almost exclusively politics despite me blocking every single political instance other than the ones for general news. I bet there’s even a community dedicated to political memes but no. Some people absolutely have to inject their political views everywhere.

Just gonna leave out the detail that you go to communities that are about the content you’re seeing to complain about said content?

Still too stubborn to just admit you don’t know what a meme is I see
I just had a look, because I remembered there was a “non-political memes” community. Turns out it’s on lemmy.ml (!nonpolitical_memes@lemmy.ml). Not the biggest fan of lemmy.ml due to the instance-wide bans: https://feddit.nl/post/16246531
I guess I might open a discussion on !fedigrow@lemm.ee to discuss a potential new community. Probably next year.
No
