This whole thread is a great example of why I'm continually disappointed with Lemmy. Half the comments are just some variation of "capitalism bad". I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, but it sure would be nice if people would stop grinding their axes for a few minutes to talk about the actual subject of the post. Or just not comment at all if they don't have anything relevant to say.

This is something I've been thinking for the past few weeks, and one of the reasons I come here rarely now. Every second post I come across somehow includes topics like capitalism, liberalism, Biden, or Trump. While I don't have issue with such content, my primary intention here is to find humorous content, enjoy cat videos, and perhaps read interesting stories.

Lemmy initially lived up to expectations, but it has been on a downhill since then. It appears that the average users have shifted nack to Reddit. What remains here now is a politically retarded group of individuals.

A few days back, when GTA VI trailer was released, I came to Lemmy to see what people think of the game only to find everyone talking shit and out of context, while the entire reddit community was celebrating the moment.
