Also massively emptier
I mean, it's a BIG FUCKING PROBLEM
Filter them out. I did it myself. It helps.
FYI you can change to scaled or any other settings to get less political.
At some point, pretty much everything becomes political. I like to cycle, walk and enjoy nature. Me not wanting to get killed by a car driver is political, and me thinking we shouldn't dump toxic crap in the environment is political. The new stop sign at the corner of the street is political. Housing is political. The high price of goods is political.
It's understandable to want to escape, avoid all this crap and take a break for a while. But memes are also a way to vent and express the frustration about the current political climate.
Unfortunately those two are narcissist shit stains that enjoy having people talking about them every day so they are nearly impossible to avoid for a while.
I like to go touch some grass. Close social media and go take a walk or cycle. Think about how all the fucking money is... eeerh... touch some grass... go camping and hiking, admire the views that are about to get destroyed by capit... eeehm, that makes you feel small. Hear the beautiful sounds of nature accompanied by the dirt bikes illegally riding in the forest. All free of politics! Even when they'll invade and annex my country, I'll just be like "can't we all just stop talking about politics and share memes, please!?"
This is a excellent use of Lemmys filter keywords feature. I also use it for crappy words used in news titles like slams, rails, blasts, etc
A great option though I don't think that's actually available by default, I know mobile apps have it but on desktop I'm using a violentmonkey script for that and don't see a way to do it in settings
Oh right, totally forgot that's not baked in. I currently only Lemmy on mobile with voyager as a PWA webapp, might have to see if it makes the transition to desktop now or not.
