Right? And just like reddit,politics seeps in to every other page. We get it,you lean left(sometimes way far),but there’s a page for that. Keep it there. No one likes politics in their memes,at least I don’t, and I’m positive I’m not the only one.
Exactly. I’ve seen them whining about how bOtH siDeS are ruining America on articles that have nothing to do with politics at all. Like… even remotely.
Yep,and its inescapable,it seems. I was going to make a comment about all the things I see wrong with lemmy,but just read the replies,everybody else has the same gripes I do,lol. Good to know its not just me. But yeah,all polichickens are liars and thieves,but its annoying how people can be blind to their party doing/saying the same things as the other party.
Definitely not just you. However, be careful with who you argue with, there’s a lot of biased mods about that take sides and you can get banned for disagreeing with some of these people.
It’s become the habit of leftist spaces since the first sign of the poisoning of a space by the right is usually in the humor. The cycle of “Oh I was just saying this racist thing to be edgy, I didn’t mean to be serious!” to “Oh you’re too sensitive you’re ruining everyone’s fun” to driving vulnerable minorities out of spaces because it’s just bloody toxic to explain when something is sucky and courting vicious attacks for being “political” when trying to stick up for themselves thus making what remains hotbeds of ever deepening unironic racism/sexism/queerphobia etc… Yeah. It does mean that any spaces with leftists left in them tend to be very corrective in the way they engage with memes and jokes.
I suppose it’s a little of a “this is how you get ants” situation in moderation.
WAY too far-left biased. It’s basically _TheDonald but for socialists.

That’s part of the reason I don’t argue or even disagree with comments. Easier to ignore/walk away,but also never know who can swing the ban hammer.
