    This is what drives people away from the fediverse. I don’t have this problem with any other social media I use (at least not to this degree). Twitter was the closest when I still used it, but even then that was somewhat fixed by just using your following feed and ignoring the algorithm. It’s especially annoying because it’s usually US-centric politics.

    If your answer to complaints about Lemmy is “stop using it”, don’t be surprised that it doesn’t gain traction.

    I get that. But I just don’t browse lemmy much anymore cause all I see is politics. I specifically went out of my way to not subscribe to political communities. But look at the top posts of !technology@lemmy.world, a community I subscribed to for posts about technology, not politics.

    3 of the top 4 are about Trump. They are obviously political, there’s no ambiguity there.

    This is especially annoying as someone not from the US.

    Can confirm this is true because the same was true for my mum. She was against the COVID vaccine, but then she started believing that the theories were started by the Chinese government to target people who don’t listen to the authorities.
