I hope I will not get downvoted because I’m genuinely wondering
Lemmy almost has no users from neither Israel or Palestine, however most of communities filled with Anti Israel content, I even tried muting all news related communities, but now I see anti Israel content in completely unrelated communities, like !android@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz
Is there a reason why Lemmy is so fixated on Israel/Palestine? Neither of other world conflicts get even close in terms of attention. It’s neither a case on my microblogging Fediverse account or my most “algoritmic” social media, even kbin part of the Threadiverse seems not as obsessed with it, what’s so different about Lemmy?
(Sorry for a bit clickbait-y title)
Edit: I actually might take down this post because half of people in replies completely misunderstood it
Because it’s the most recent world event. Were you not seeing constant discussions about Russia/Ukraine when that first started?
Nobody ever mentions Africa is what’s weird to me.
There’s a very dark joke in the international community.
How do you move an article about 50k people being killed in a natural disaster from the front page to page 15?
Start the article with “Yesterday in Africa…”
Lemmy wasn’t as popular back and even tho it had it’s share of users, I wasn’t on it, so I can’t really say how it was on Lemmy
I have seen discussions about Russia-Ukrainian but I haven’t seen them at all outside of the political communities on Lemmy, and they seem limited to certain communities.
And is it the most recent world event?
