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
We would love to, if not for the accumulated knowledge which can’t be (easily) found elsewhere.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It’s weird that you complain about what you subject yourself to, that’s a sin according to the satanic Bible
Yes! This right bloody here, not everything needs to be political!
Unfortunately, everything is affected by politics.
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.
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.
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
