don’t waste your money EFF this place sucks
Replying to @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone
Have you considered it’s not the space you hate but the people who occupy it? Try as hard as you may, you will not find a place for people to talk without finding people talking.

err yeah? it’s the people here who I don’t get along with because I have hobbies outside of American politics, I have no issues on reddit or whirlpool or other places

It can improve if you use the block button liberally, especially on mastodon

trust me I definitely use it, however fundamentally this is taking a place that has like 3 hobbies (American politics, Linux and Left Wing Progressive/American politics) and making it even smaller, this was supposed to be an alternative to reddit but it has like 7 active comms that aren’t somehow related to the above 3, even Lemmy Shitpost is filled with American/Left Wing Politics ALL the time
You’re going to say next: be the change you seek and I am however I am a drop in the American ocean
why don’t you bring all your rightwing friends and make it the place you want it to be, this place sucks for you because it works with people actually doing things. You want work done for you, go back to reddit
Do you need to be rightwing to get annoyed by boring bland statements that get repeated over and over and over and over and over again that oversimplify and frame everything as the pure evil that cannot be convinced to change vs us
Even if you agree with them, do they not annoy you?
That doesn’t mean the place sucks, that only means I choose which topics/communities I spend time with. I’m not going to blame people for being angry at the system, for making their own education. I’m not expected to be part of these conversations, so I don’t go there. Some days I don’t even open the app andit’s fine
Of course, that alone is not terrible, but when that, along with us politics and linux, are literally in every single community and people will complain if you dare to mention that you do not want us politics filling your feed, that may become an issue
