Keeping things in their respective communities does help people filter what they want to see.
I, for one, like to see “haha that’s funny” posts more than “oh look the bad guys are bad” posts, which is why I peruse this community and not political memes.
I’m not trying to minimod and create rules that don’t exist in the community, though. I’m just expressing my opinion. You don’t have to listen.
Also, what does this have to do with instance? Nothing’s stopping you from posting on another instance’s community, right? Federation is nice like that. Or did you mean that lemmy.ml is a political instance? If so, I didn’t know that.
Just scroll past it, its not hard. Lemmy is already struggling with content, we don’t need people feeling some type of way about how it’s posted.
I mentioned instance because they’re from Lemm.ee and the community they are referencing isn’t a relevant thing on the instance where they’re commenting and where this is posted.
People not being able to filter their content is just going to cause users to leave, making the issue worse. If I wanted to be bombarded by political virtue signalling I’d just go back to Twitter.
It is fundamentally a communist instance. The reason people are annoyed at you is that you want a “politics” free experience but rather than make the effort to curate what you expose yourself to you’re just wandering into places and insisting they be what you want.
It’s a shame because this is still the biggest meme community in the fediverse. There have been more non-political memes here in the past 2 hours than the next two general meme communities combined had in the past 12 hours.
If people who don’t like lemmy.ml’s meme community because it serves lemmy.ml’s community rather than their own personal preferences just hung out at a more generic meme community (like one at lemmy.world or lemm.ee) instead of whinging then that would soon change. You are the architects of your own issues.
