Need a politics-free safe space? It’s called “going for a walk”

    That page 404s for me FWIW

    I wonder if maybe this is a federation thing then given you’re on kbin. Honestly doesn’t seem that bad a problem to me on lemmy.world

    And as much as my other comment has a couple of people disagreeing with me, I don’t think the point is unreasonable.

    Unless a general purpose meme community explicitly disallows a specific type of content, I don’t see how you can expect to not see it.

    Particularly something like politics which people just love making memes about. It’s like complaining about SpongeBob or Star wars memes in the same community, there’s just a lot of that kind of content out there, so you’re gonna see it in general purpose places.

    But again, maybe this is a federation thing and I’m not seeing the problems others are on different instances

      I don’t see anywhere close to the same amount of political memes on generic meme communities anywhere else i frequent on the internet. Lemmy feels like it consists almost exclusively of political memes.

      I guess i wouldn’t mind so much if they were actually funny, but they aren’t. They’re mostly just “haha those people dumb” with zero effort to be funny or clever or anything which could make them interesting after having seen the first 3 or 4 of them.
