Why is all of Lemmy politics? (lemmy.ml)

Seriously every other post, every sub seems like nothing but politics. It's so boring and disgusting. What made reddit great at one time was the diversity of genres and depth. Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems. I have been here since the Reddit exodus. It's always been this way.

Do different Lemmy servers have different content?

Are certain severs curated?

Where do I find the depth and deep subject matter.

You're on .ml it's literally Marxist Leninist. You're like an American standing in Mexico complaining about everyone speaking Spanish.

    To be fair, Lemmy.ml just has lots of MLs, Lemmygrad.ml is the actual ML instance. Also to be fair, many instances do have strong political views as a part of their identity.

    And also many people joined ml as they saw it as the default instance.

    When I was with the reddit exodus . ML was the computer, dev, tech instance so I leaned that way. Other than that I did not choose any instance for a particular reason or view. It was just a larger server maintained by real computer users. Only. world was larger. Now there are many servers to choose.

    It's literally Mali. Having alternate country codes is just a way to take advantage of countries with less of a presence on the internet to be able to get better domain names and at a lower price. .ml specifically was given away for free.

    The worst, I think, is .io since the profits of those domains should go to the chagossians, but it just goes to the British government.
