politics is at lemmy's core, it was literally created by communists & socialists to serve as an online community for leftists; not rightists like liberals or conservatives.
Plus...there is a LOT to talk about these days, and most sane takes have been effectively banned from all large platforms lmao, with people helping all this along by voluntarily censoring the DUMBEST FUCKING WORDS in their memes, even, just to further their own reach within those shit holes.
So. Yeah, Lemmy be political.
Buckle up, it's about to get a lot worse when you won't even be allowed to use social media until you submit to a face scan like op was trying to share.
Yeah….this is the internet…..I ain’t showing face. Ass yes, face….not a chance!
you're doing the lord's work, thank you! lol
And every person too busy or just aloof to bother learning about any of this stuff will just glibly hand it all over, lovely stuff headed our way.
Yes and I got it earlier; it's just hard to resist responding based on stereotypes. Lol
Same, just commiserating over here.
i got sick of commiserating so i cut off centralized media from my life and my internet experience got reset back to 1995; it's kind of rediscovering what the internet is like all over again.
Now this is my kinda head in the sand lmao
But nah really, between my own frustrations with similar and realizing that a somewhat curated media experience for my kids is now of critical importance, I'm not far off! So far so good, I have a long way to go though. But I've been away from all the corporate trash for a while, cheers to that.
You said fucking. Bring me my fainting couch. Fuck I don't have one.
Dude……..nobody was gonna tell me there’s an app? I’m over here on brave just chillin. 🤦🏼♂️
There's Jerboa (the official one), Sync, Voyager, and over a dozen more different front ends.
Just search for Lemmy on Google Play or FDroid and you'll find options
I dig it. TY
I agree for the most part. But everything isn't just a different political view.
You're literally posting this in an instance where lots of people actively deny the extent of Stalins crimes. Justifying it as "some countries miss the soviet, so he can't have been that bad" as if the Soviet ended with Stalin and didn't continue on for decades after.
I don't know about you. But that is as far away from an echo chamber I think you can get.
