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

Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don’t.

It’d be nice if I could collect channels into custom feeds, so I could have a separate feed for my political channels. And if those feeds could be shareable

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.

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.
