You know, i do actually very often concur with these kinds of content, like the ones saying billionaires are leaches on society and governments are often used as a weapon to protect the ruling classes.

But man… when i come to lemmy i kinda want to only see memes, and funny stuff… even communities that are not niches to political content get political way too often. Like gotdammit, when i get to c/comics i just want to see funny drawings, i’m way too tired to want to see your lame class war comic…

Is that a feeling i’m the only one feeling?

edit: i think what makes it worse is that very often they’re not even funny, just literal propaganda, “good guy propaganda”, maybe, but still propaganda

edit n2: edited title and body slightly to be “open ended” on mod’s request

    I really mean it, this is “my kind” of propaganda. I’m just way too over-saturated with this stuff. Like it’s nice having a space to talk about that, but when we get to the point where “jokes” are just politics without any punchline i think the “jokes” become a bit pointless

      It sounds like it’s time for you to take a break. Not for everyone else to alter their behavior to suit your desires.

        Yeah, this is true, but that’s why this post is not on c/lemmysucks or something like that, the point of this post is just to see if other people share this opinion with me. This does not bring me rage or anything like that.

        We are all fragile human creatures that share a sense of community and shared values, relatability is hardcoded on us, can’t i be human too ay?

          Don’t worry about EleventhHour. They live to argue with anyone over stupid things. They’re trolling just to get a rise out of you.

          Seemingly, you do not share the same values we do. You want us all to change just to suit your individual caprice. Most people here will find that request preposterous.

          You don’t like a post, download it and move on. Lemmy and its communities aren’t going to reshape themselves just for you.

              Lemmy is doing so great? Then what is this entire post complaining about?

              You talk out of both sides of your mouth.

                  If inventing the fantasy that I’m “angry” helps you deal with reality, fine. But I’ll remind you again that you are the one who posted this silly complaint.

                  Projecting your negative emotions onto me doesn’t change the reality, however.

                    I really don’t care that about stranger’s opinion on the internet, i have no reason to be angry at you, much for the contrary, i do respect your opinion. I will not be continuing this discussion further tho, this discussion is getting way too much like reddit, too silly.

                Like i really do enjoy lemmy, people here are lovely. It’s just that people should stop pretending to tell jokes, when they aren’t. We can talk talk about issues, we don’t need jokes without punchlines to express ourselves, we have discussions and spaces for that

                  Obviously, you still hold the arrogant and absurd belief that anyone here owes you anything, much less every lemmy user altering their behavior so the entire site suits your taste.

                  You say you like Lemmy, yet you keep complaining about what you don’t like rather than leaving anyone here is going to change Lemmy just for you.

                  You say you like it here, but you clearly ignore it. Otherwise, expecting anyone to act differently just for you is outrageously ridiculous.

                  Why is that so incredibly difficult for you to understand?
