Just as the title suggest. Is there anyway we can prevent Lemmy from being such a giant sphere of political annoyance just like Reddit? No matter where you go on reddit before the API changes and even now, someone has to bring politics into it. Even in post or subreddits where it’s not needed.

So once again, is there anyway we can stop that from happening and just allow the communities in Lemmy to be genuine?

    Think of the Fediverse as Earth and the instances as countries. Countries have constitutions that establish the values of the country. Instances are the same.

    Suppose we have NoStudpidQuestions on Instance1 and Instance2. Instance1 is like the USA, and Instance2 is like Canada. Instance1 will be more lenient on free speech than Instance2, which is more prone to civility (this is just an exaggeration).

    This is the beauty of Fediverse. You choose the communities and instances you want to follow. You are free.
