a big reason people won’t come to lemmy is the content is a political echo chamber and defederation is confusing as a concept to most people. i agree with most political opinions i see on here, but it’s kind of annoying to just see politics every time i open the app. maybe i just need to get better at tuning my feed, but most of the popular subs are political in some way.
Dude……..nobody was gonna tell me there’s an app? I’m over here on brave just chillin. 🤦🏼♂️
There's Jerboa (the official one), Sync, Voyager, and over a dozen more different front ends.
Just search for Lemmy on Google Play or FDroid and you'll find options
politics is at lemmy's core, it was literally created by communists & socialists to serve as an online community for leftists; not rightists like liberals or conservatives.
Plus...there is a LOT to talk about these days, and most sane takes have been effectively banned from all large platforms lmao, with people helping all this along by voluntarily censoring the DUMBEST FUCKING WORDS in their memes, even, just to further their own reach within those shit holes.
So. Yeah, Lemmy be political.
Buckle up, it's about to get a lot worse when you won't even be allowed to use social media until you submit to a face scan like op was trying to share.
And every person too busy or just aloof to bother learning about any of this stuff will just glibly hand it all over, lovely stuff headed our way.
Yes and I got it earlier; it's just hard to resist responding based on stereotypes. Lol
Same, just commiserating over here.
You said fucking. Bring me my fainting couch. Fuck I don't have one.
I agree for the most part. But everything isn't just a different political view.
You're literally posting this in an instance where lots of people actively deny the extent of Stalins crimes. Justifying it as "some countries miss the soviet, so he can't have been that bad" as if the Soviet ended with Stalin and didn't continue on for decades after.
I don't know about you. But that is as far away from an echo chamber I think you can get.
