I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.
Politics affects every facet of life. Not being concerned with or effected by political shifts is a privelege. Just by moderators deciding what topics are and aren’t political they are enforcing their political views onto the community. You see it constantly on reddit where someone posts something innoccuous then the mods lock the thread and ban further discussion.
