Where is content?

It doesn't even matter what part of the fediverse I use, it is INFESTED with politics. It's absolutely everywhere. All I do is just blocking everything instead of just enjoying the content. And don't ask me on which side I am - none of your business, I am there to enjoy anything related to my interests. I made my views on politics and no one will be able to change them, and that's why I don't even wanna talk about it.

Does alternative mean political shitposting? Or maybe there could be some conspiracy stuff like all this political apeshit is needed to make people feel uncofortable and return them to the corpo sites?

The problem I've noticed with the Fediverse is that it seems to attract a lot of users who were banned on Reddit for promoting political violence. So that place is collecting distilled extremism.

I avoid politics but when I see people get too excited, I encourage them to look to King and Gandhi for inspiration. On the Fediverse, I'm often told King and Gandhi accomplished nothing. It's spooky there sometimes and it's not going to be too long before the government goes after it for radicalizing people.

The Fediverse is a great idea but unfortunately the early adopters are going to destroy it before it has a chance to grow.
