Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about “I can’t use muh slurs, this is awful.”
“The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media.” /u/decidedlysticky23
/u/misshapensteed claims he isn’t far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.
If they are too stupid to figure out we know they’re lying, they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy.
During 2020, I spiraled into depression and stayed home browsing reddit way too much. I got some pretty strong political opinions during that time. Thankfully, I decided to block all the subreddits that I wasn’t directly interested in (most of the default subs were blocked). This was great for my mental health. Since then, I’ve seen friends fall down their own rabbit holes but unable to pull themselves out.
Politics plays a core part in our lives but we shouldn’t let it consume us or let ourselves boil in anger over it. So far, Lemmy seems to be more about thoughtful discussion rather than throwing insults. It’s refreshing. I look forward to the day that America’s political landscape is less polarizing but I’m not sure how we get there.
