I'm fine with politics on the internet, but why spam it on a memes community...
Point me to a time/place when politics were not completely intertwined with meme communities.
Oh, right. That doesn't actually exist.
Sure that's true, but here it's like way above 50% of the posts being just full-on propaganda, disguised as memes. IDK, I'm just comparing it to other sites/communities where the politics to meme ratio is way lower and feels less forced.
OK, fair enough.
I think the fediverse in general attracts a lot of people who are tired of capitalist assholes extracting wealth on various tech platforms, which probably explains some of it. People are very angry right now, and that's gonna be hard to escape on Lemmy/kbin
