We live in the UK. She didn't go any further than this. I got her to download TOR and use the "old.Reddit" trick to bypass this so it was only mildly infuriating for her in the end

Christ. Stop using fucking reddit already

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The problem is that the vast majority of content and activity is on the more normie side of the web.

People still use X more than BlueSky or Mastodon, after all.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago

It's where the porn is. Is my hypothesis.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 22 hours ago

To be fair it's about the new UK nanny dictatorship law.

In theory lemmy should do the same and the UK government could sue and block access of any lemmy instance not following their ludicrous laws.

[–] some_random_nick@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

We would love to, if not for the accumulated knowledge which can't be (easily) found elsewhere.

Honestly Lemmy gets mentally draining, constant political drama that is guaranteed to lean left, barely any non-partisan or neutral discussions happen here and god forbid anyone say anything that can be seen as conservative because a barrage of insults are certain to come your way.

While I support the Lemmy project there are quite a few communities that I had subscribed to on Reddit that are missing here.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

something tells me you whining about not having enough conservative propaganda on a site, that wants nothing to do with it, go back to reddit.

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

My “whining” is because of people like /u/dickalan@lemmy.world. This is what makes Lemmy mentally draining, they’re hellbent on their political ideology and if you don’t conform you get ousted, fed to the fishes so to speak.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I hear you.

I'd never really encountered the nutty parts of progressive politics until coming to Lemmy. Often times you don't need to say something conservative, but merely say something that challenges a poorly conceived thought bubble and you get piled on.

There's a really strong sense of idealism here. A lot of users deal in absolutes and don't seem able to engage with the nuance of life.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

As anti-establishment and highly critical of the Democratic Party I have seen the exact same thing here is on Reddit

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world -5 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, I just want beast mode on his ass and will probably get that comment removed. I just posted above you, but I don’t care anymore.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

There are orders of magnitude difference in the severity.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lemmy sucks it just sucks different, its the photo negative of truth social and anyone who thinks that this place isnt just a different echo chamber is deluded.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 0 points 22 hours ago

Bro, these are real people with real opinions and you’re just shitting on all of that like it’s nothing, and the truth social comparison, jump up your own ass

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I had to make an account that had no news and tried to limit anything that could regularly get too political for mental health

I have a good word filter list that seems to do the trick. Apart from when the titles are "things am I right?" And the description is "this ^", no word filter will work on that. Wish there was a politics tag.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world -5 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, right propaganda is blatant, untruth, and whipping men who feel insignificant into a frenzy, fuck off you weirdo, go find your safe space backthere on Reddit dip shit. You have the hallmark of a person that cannot control what information gets into their brain, you know, keyword blocks, or a any thing you can to save yourself the mental anguish you clearly feel on a daily basis that you subject yourself to, I feel no sympathy for people that Can’t control what triggers them, again fuck you in the face, I don’t care if I’m gonna get dinged here on Lemmy . I’ve said what I have to say.

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

You do realize you just proved me right.

god forbid anyone say anything that can be seen as conservative because a barrage of insults are certain to come your way.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world -3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Congrats you’re sticking in a round in a place you’re not wanted you’re clearly one in 1 million kid. Do you want to open yourself to more abuse You fucking glutton for punishment

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)
[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No matter what happens, I always expect Lemmy to have the worse possible take.

I also don't like that politics seems to spill into every community

This is the case on reddit too. Politics creeps into everything.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world -2 points 22 hours ago

It’s weird that you complain about what you subject yourself to, that’s a sin according to the satanic Bible

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I also don't like that politics seems to spill into every community

Yes! This right bloody here, not everything needs to be political!

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, everything is affected by politics.

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

By politics they mean anything that's left-wing. Right-wing stuff like causal racism isn't seen as political since it's so normalized in America.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Not really, need more popular hobby communities as they are often places that politics don't impact
