Why is all of Lemmy politics? (lemmy.ml)

Seriously every other post, every sub seems like nothing but politics. It's so boring and disgusting. What made reddit great at one time was the diversity of genres and depth. Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems. I have been here since the Reddit exodus. It's always been this way.

Do different Lemmy servers have different content?

Are certain severs curated?

Where do I find the depth and deep subject matter.

Most of us aren't so privileged that we get to pretend that politics doesn't control and shape the course of our lives.

I wish I could be as disconnected from the reality of whats happening around us as these people seem to be, genuinely envious.

I would have less anxiety, for a start.

genuinely envious

same here; i would be homeowner, married w children and with genuine retirement retirement prospects if politics did force the dissolution of my marriage; forced me to accept college debt for a useless degree; and several jobs untenable.

it's strange to imagine myself as a capitalist. lol
