    Literally seen more whining about politics than I’ve seen politics.

      Well… technically speaking: Isn’t “whining about politics” still “politics”?

      If we follow that rabbit hole, OP has contributed to the exact issue they are ranting about.

      Does your instance federate with Hexbear and Lemmygrad? Because I constantly have those people in my feed and it’s absolutely exhausting. I see more memes about burning the rich and starting a revolution than normal memes in my feed. I’m left-wing, but I’m not looking at memes to constantly be confronted with politics. Unfortunately instance blocking isn’t working well for me yet

          Oh I wish to stop looking at shit memes, but if more than half of them are tankie crap it’s obviously going to degrade the experience

            You need a better meme plug. I’d share my sources, but I don’t want them to get too popular, yaknow?

        Your instance doesn’t affect what you see, except in cases of de-federation.

      Waah…I don’t want to press the downvote button, id rather whine about all the things I don’t like. People should automatically anticipate my desires and cater to them… Waaahh

        I do. And it doesn’t phase me, just scroll on past, like that homeless man you ignore in the street.

                People in the instance have more varying viewpoints since its oriented towards a niche/content category (+ same is true for other niche instances). People interacting in the instance can be managed but its difficult for people interacting outside to be moderated to make sure theyre actually following our rules since admins dont get reports of people in their instance being reported, only the instances of where they interact in do.

                Politics communities (aka communities that only talk about politics rather than something like a hobby (and lgbtq+ isnt politics)) are now hidden by default on the instance though hence why you probably havent noticed the two are federated still since people dont stumble in and need to explicitly choose to see the content (leading to less people arguing on different politics communities since they just sub to the one they want and then sees that one as normal)

        I’ve seen a sudden influx of memes all about this and I don’t know why. It’s suddenly the new trend and I don’t understand it.
