What would make it better? What would a perfect social media experience look like?
There is no perfect social media experience. Politics can and will and have always been a part of people interacting online, but it used to be more balanced where people would also talk about their interests and geek out about things that makes them, you know, happy.
Lemmy has plenty of potential to have that balance, but politics bleeds into everything and when I say politics I mean the most angry, vitriolic and hateful version of it. There are ways to talk about politics where it is fruitful, interesting and enlightening. On Lemmy it is none of those things. It is just angry people projecting their misery onto everyone and everything around them. It doesn't get dumber than that and I want no part of it, so I block it.
