You know, i do actually very often concur with these kinds of content, like the ones saying billionaires are leaches on society and governments are often used as a weapon to protect the ruling classes.

But man... when i come to lemmy i kinda want to only see memes, and funny stuff... even communities that are not niches to political content get political way too often. Like gotdammit, when i get to c/comics i just want to see funny drawings, i'm way too tired to want to see your lame class war comic...

Is that a feeling i'm the only one feeling?

edit: i think what makes it worse is that very often they're not even funny, just literal propaganda, "good guy propaganda", maybe, but still propaganda

edit n2: edited title and body slightly to be "open ended" on mod's request

Posts complaining about “politics” and “propaganda” are invariably made by people who want to see those things, just the kind aligned with their politics.

I disagree, IMO a lot of it is just low effort trash spammed across multiple communities, multiplying how annoying it is. It's not that I disagree with the idea, I just think "elites bad, updoots to the left" is mind numbingly lazy.

Totally agree. I find Lemmy more of an echo chamber than Reddit. Echo chambers are detrimental, no matter your view.
