I hope Lemmy continues to grow as other sites keep getting worse. That will probably help round out the content. I’m only too well aware of how widespread American politics is as I have dealt with it my whole American life. I don’t blame you for avoiding it, and have only started recently engaging with it. Though, compared to other social media, I find Lemmy to be more mild in the intensity and range being pushed around the site. I expect it will increase over the next few months. As for advice, if it makes you angry/upset, then yeah, keep political instances blocked. I learned how to ignore it, but that took time. 196 is still pretty great tho. Hope you find your peace and enjoyment from the community. Ask more questions, and you’ll probably find what you’re looking for.
Doing the same here for Dragon’s Dogma 2.
