Everything is politics. Half of us are here because of reedits bad politics.
I'm going to preface that this might feel like a personal attack but it's meant for anybody who come across this response.
We didn't come over here because of political reasons. Reddit didn't all of the sudden give their views on gun rights or abortion. They changed their business model. That's not politics.
Of course you can say anything is political, but thats on YOU. Why would you want to fill your head with all the negativity of the world, constantly? Can you personally solve the world's crises? Go outside and look around at your local community and see the GOOD that is still happening right in your back yard.
I'm sorry that I'm hounding on you specifically, but you said something and I'm going to refute your statement.
Beyond that, it's still good to have you here because it's debates like this that keep lemmy thriving.
EDIT: I edited this post to be nicer. Doesnct change my view.
