    You’re making a big generalisation based on someone not wanted to see political memes and memes to about people not wanting to see political memes when they’re taking a dump or just trying to make the day pass.

    I would definitely be a leftist in the USA and probably be considered progressive even, just because I’m used to how things are here in Sweden and the social climate we have. (I even argue with Americans quite often of how crappy their social climate and ideologies are)

    But I still would like to browse Lemmy while taking a crap without having US politics memes shoved down my throat. If I would want that I’d probably subscribe to a relevant community.

      The test determined, that was a lie. Y’all certainly stay engaged for extended periods of time for people who don’t want to think about it when you could, as people are wont to say, “Keep Scrolling.”

      What you mean is that you want to browse lemmy without being reminded that the world is broken and your apathy fuels it’s broken state.

          Left: “I don’t want to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings”

          Right: “And yet here you are at Buffalo Wild Wings”

          If you don’t want politics, don’t engage. Don’t like how political a community is? Leave. Can’t find an “apolitical” one? Start your own.

          Otherwise, you WANT politics, you just want to screech at people you disagree with and say it’s not political because you say so.
