We live in the UK. She didn't go any further than this. I got her to download TOR and use the "old.Reddit" trick to bypass this so it was only mildly infuriating for her in the end

Because Lemmy is mostly just a political soapbox, there's not enough actual non-political content.

    Would you rather have a place where you can't talk about it or else you get banned and any dissent is killed and banned and it's slowly getting worse day by day?

    Or a foss freedom free structure platform where people can ACTUALLY talk about what's on their mind? Hmmmm?

    Sounds like you have some privileges you maybe need to realize you have.

    No you don't understand, they didn't say they weren't on Lemmy, they are as you clearly noticed. So they do have access to all the political discourse they want when they want it.

    They said that Lemmy is too politically dominated and that some communities only live on Reddit rn.

    I kinda agree, I use Lemmy 99% of the time but when a new Poe league releases the poebuildsdiscussion has interesting information about the game, not having political discourse in that community is irrelevant since that's now what's about. I'd prefer if it was here but there clearly is no interest, as a transition was attempted the API exodus and it failed.

    If there was some decent political discussion I wouldn't mind it as much

    The problem is that people here can't stand to see anything they might disagree with.

    right wingers and the tankies are the only ones bitching about how thier political discussion isnt being discussed. i dont care either way, as long as it doesnt becomes obnoxious
