I would prefer this group not become political focused, ruins so many subs. Anything LGBT+ is fine, not what I’m referring to. But the right and left and antifa stuff I could strongly do without
It always was political, avoiding politics is a position of privilege
I would recommend blocking either this entire community or just me. I have no intention of censoring myself for you.
196 here is a clone of the former r/196, which was a strange mix of liberal and leftist
But… You are in 196
If this makes you upset I would reevaluate your position.
196 has consistently been a left wing forum
this post isn't even political
Lemmy's algorithm isn't taylored in any way. This is just a super active community with a lot of posts that get a lot of upvotes. If you're browsing all without a block list, yeah, you're gonna see it a lot. If you don't want to see it you can just browse your subscribed feed, or local, or block it, and never think about it again
Your preference isn’t important to us.
This sub is 50/50 unfunny political memes or funny shitposts, no in-between. I haven't subscribed to it but Lemmy thinks I want to see it so here I am.
Then block it and stop complaining
