I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.
I would say it’s quite literally because a lot of people who post on lemmy are intelligent and intelligent people pay close attention to the problems in the world aka “woke”
Saw a tshirt lately that said “politics is dumb but very important” lol
