    Yeah I agree 100% with this sentiment. Every so often - say, every 20 posts or so - there’s something that’s actually uplifting. But most of it is just political wank, as you say. Or one was ‘Israel finally allows some food into Gaza’ which tbqh I don’t find uplifting so much as absolutely sickening because it reminds me of how absolutely awful the context for it is.

    Still, not gonna unsub because Lemmy is too small for me to be that picky 😅

      Honestly, i get your point. But it is really easy to be the change you want to see and make a commubuty that does not allow polulitics and just crosspost what you think fits. People will likely enjoy that kind of content. You have one subscriber in me already if you make it.

        Ufghh I know but omg I’m not one of nature’s posters. I was on Reddit for like 5 years before I even made my first comment. I dunno if I have it in me. That’s probably one of the reasons I’m so loath to complain about content - like, what right have I?

          I strongly encourage you to review that stance. You’re doing good and people grow. Also, crossposting isnt that hard. At least on voyager you press crosspost, press autofill for the title and decide which community to post in, done. Other apps and webapps should be similar. At least thats what I hope. :)
