If someone posts one politically charged comment or article, they’re going to do it again. Now, I am not talking about posts asking a question or being some part of a legitimate discussion, I mean users that post articles or comments that are “supporting one side/attacking the other side.” If someone says “Why is Lemmy politically left leaning?”, that is different from “God doesn’t exist but Karl Marx did.” A bit of an extreme example but maybe you understand. The topic involves politics in the first example but it is not directly about politics or trying to push one political ideology over others.

IMO, it does represent “Lemmy without politics.” Because I don’t want “Lemmy with a little bit of politics” or “Lemmy but a political echo chamber with only politics I agree with,” I want “Lemmy with no politics.” That means I block everything, left, right, progressive, conservative, I don’t care. I don’t want to see that garbage, I have to deal with enough of it in real life. When I am on Lemmy I just want to see my specific interests which I subscribe to, and the sad part is that many (not all) Lemmy users will make political posts in non-political communities, like tech or meme communities. Reddit did this too, but it was not to this degree, and perhaps it was because Reddit had more users to dilute it.
