If you're extremely far-left. It's worse there than here with the political drivel dominating every single non-political topic. I still use it on occasion but just like here, I'm going to have to filter out 90% of their subs because it's all noise, probably going to be this way permanently until more neutral sites take the place of these shitholes.

Besides the "extremely far-left" (???) i do agree there can be a lot of US political posts.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not encouraging "centrism", but as a non american i see way too many posts about it, even when completely unrelated to the community.

It makes the experience worse for non-americans and casual users. I even had a friend quit lemmy because of this.

The Fediverse (and FOSS in general) is inherently (radically) political simply by the nature of it's construction and organization. That said I think it's important to stress to new users that one's experience can be curated to the degree that normal social media cannot.

Until someone open-sources TikToks algorithm, the Fediverse cannot compete on entertainment value, what it competes on is quality and intentionality. I think it's important we put that talking point front and center. We don't need to convince the users who just want to scroll memes (even though this post is literall r/memes haha).
