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.

Alright.

To answer your question before you go, no, I don't think you're trying to convince anyone of anything. Which is the problem; what are you doing, and how can anyone engage with it? I read what you wrote, it's just not relevant to what's going on in this thread.

Like what, was I supposed to fly off the handle and say "politics doesn't effect anything", or agree and say "yes we're both very woke, much better than most people"? That would definitely be a waste of time.

You came in here saying that OP would be getting less judgement in .world because it's less political than ml. I agree that they'd get less judgemental comments over there, but not because it's less political. World's politics just align more with the kind of politics OP desires- hence less judgement. If directly responding to your claim is irrelevant, then yours was as well.
