Content here sucks ass. It's 95% bitching about politics.
The great thing about Lemmy is there's no singular "here". Make a community free from politics if you want one, or, if you're able/willing, make a whole-ass instance. The makeup of Lemmy is pretty much 100% democratic, based on the content of those willing to put in the effort. If someone is unhappy with that makeup, it's up to them to change it.
Also, it's worth noting that Lemmy is certainly not a curated garden of content. If there's stuff you don't want to see any more, it's up to you to remove it from your feed. That is the intended user experience here.
None of that has to do with the front page on every instance and the lack of content. Remove politics and you have nothing. You hit non stop porn after a while and removing politics well just make it a porn feed.
I mean, I can tell you that's simply not true. There's plenty of content that's not porn or politics. Those two make up the bulk, sure, but block all of it that you don't want to see and other content is clearly there.
Did I say all? No I said 95%. Is that exact? Of fucking course not.
Yes, I heard you the first time.
Then you shouldn't have said that I was incorrect 🤷♂️
See that made me think you misunderstood. You see how we got here?
Honestly? No. You are incorrect, as I said. You seem to be the one having a hard time understanding.
