I am just wondering… is it me- or is there a LOT of just general negativity here.
Every other post I see is…
- America is bad.
- Capitalism is bad. Socialism/Communism is good.
- If you don’t like communism, you are a fascist nazi.
Honestly, it’s kind of killing my mood with Lemmy. There are a few decent communities/subs here, but, the quality of content appears to be falling.
I mean, FFS. It can’t just be me that is noticing this. It honestly feels like I am supporting a communist platform here.
I am on social media to post and read about things related to technology, automation, race cars, etc.
Every other technology post, is somebody bashing on Elon Musk (actually- that is deserved), or talking about Reddit (Let it go. Seriously. We are here, it is there).
On my hobby of liking racecars, I guess, half of the people on lemmy feel it is OK to vandalize a car for being too big… and car hate culture is pretty big.
All of this is really turning off my mood regarding lemmy.
I mean, politics fuck up casual conversation as well as topical discussions. That’s the way it is in real life too. You get a big enough group together, and there’s always that one person that has to wedge politics into the conversation, no matter how far away from politics it starts.
But, being real, lemmy has always had a strong political base because that’s part of why it was started.
It’s easy enough to avoid the political C/s and instances. And it’s trivial to block people that shoehorn politics into other things. So it is only a problem when starting a new account.
