Im in the US so I can't really ignore the US politics and given globalization I would likely want to know about the highlights if I was out of here but I just blocks meme communities. Nothing wrong with blocking. I also block sports as that is not my thing. Problem with us politics is its inundated in the news communities. You could block maybe news communities that are not explicity not the US because we know it still dominates the world news oftentimes. Anyway. Block is your friend.

Lemmy allows you to block comms and users pretty easily.

I have over 200 blocked. Not in an "I hate you" way, more in a "This doesn't interest me" way.

Best solution is to read books instead of social media.

Rather than browsing by all you can also subscribe to communities that interest you and browse by subscribed.

No. If you dont like memes and US politics.... good! You simply get on social media, only follow people you know in real life, and then only use it on desktop where there are browser extensions to block "suggested" content or ads.

Get on each platform maybe once per day max. If you see something new that a friend has posted, leave a comment to tell them how great they are. Once per week or so, make your own post about neat things you are doing. Then, go outside.

Use the subscribed feed.

If you want extra filter options, Piefed has built in keywords filter

Without memes? 😭

English media will always be dominated with us politics. As for memes well, welcome to the internet. The best way to avoid memes is to avoid the internet

You just described my PieFed/Lemmy subscribed community list.

In that case i would recommend you block !politics@lemmy.world and !politicalmemes@lemmy.world and !news!world@lemmy.world

Tildes seems to do mostly okay.

LinkedIn

No. Next question.

probably some nsfw platform

That is social media. Try downloading a news app instead. I'm considering the same

No, controversy will always be pushed, I made the mistake of saying threads had a decent algorithim, sht was ruined in a week

Like, none of those at all? Seems highly unlikely.

Not in english.

However I was banned from c/politics for providing publicly available images of Nick Fuentes' house to a thread on it.

You could try to get yourself banned from all the annoying communities if you're unwilling to subscribe to commuties you like and unsub ones you dislike.

The whole point of the Internet has always been to spread memes.

Because the Internet is a communication medium, and communication is made of memes. I'm not joking. Words, language, music, and art are all memes. (The concept of memes is also a meme). Before the Internet, there was ARPAnet, email, IRC, and BBS boards; all about communication, and thus memes.

Before that, there was the phone network. Before that, the post office. Before that, books, pamphlets, and people telling stories down the pub or around the campfire. All memes.

In fact, this very post is made of memes. The previous sentence contains at least nine memes – the words In, fact, this, very, post, is, made, of, and memes. But there are more memes in there. The phrase in fact combines the words in and fact to make a new meme – in this case, when those two words combine, it asserts more forcefully that the overall statement is true. There's also the spaces between the words, which makes reading the sentence much easier. Yes, believe it or not, spaces between words is a meme. Before the 8th century AD, WORDSWEREWRITTENINALLCAPSWITHNOSPACESBETWEENTHEM. Alcuin of York, a scribe and poet at the court of Emperor Charlemagne, came up with the ideas of lowercase letters and spaces between words to make reading easier, and his ideas were so popular that they spread across most of Christendom. Those memes were so successful that people think of them as natural and obvious parts of (alphabetic) writing, but they aren't. They aren't even a millennium old.

Writing is another meme, going way back to the Stone Age, and it has evolved and developed into numerous other memes, such as the Roman alphabet (which I am using right now), Arabic script, Chinese characters, the Cyrillic alphabet, Brahmic script, Ge'ez alphabet, the Greek alphabet, Cherokee script, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and many others.

Asking for social media without memes is like asking for food without proteins, fats, or carbohydrates. It's like asking for sunlight without electromagnetic radiation.
