I mean I don't see much activity outside politics. Edit: As you all mentioned I'll try blocking some political and news communities and try to find some new communities.

I don't have a problem with that.

The last thing I want is all of the propaganda and barely literate morons that have parasitized the rest of the internet coming here to churn it into a fucking cesspool of idiocy.

    You're making the common mistake of believing that newcomers are somehow dumber than the ones who have been here a while.

    No, Lemmy/piefed has a deep user base of people knowledgeable about Linux, programming, Star Wars, and a few other topics, but plenty of other topics still leave a lot to be desired.

    For example, I've noticed that Lemmy's userbase is probably below the internet average at picking up on satire and sarcasm.
