I really want to like Lemmy (lemmy.world)

I hate big tech controlling social media. I desperately want social media to be federated.

I really love community-driven social media like Reddit. Lemmy feels… too small. I really loved that Reddit let me jump into any niche hobby, and instantly I had a community. Lemmy, you’ll be lucky if that community even exists, and if it does, chances are nobody has posted in ages.

On the other hand, Lemmy is full of political content lately. I’ve basically been doom scrolling everything US election-related, and it’s really starting to take a toll on my mental health.

I know I can filter content. I know I can post and be the change I seek. Yet, it feels like an uphill battle.

Not sure what the point of this is, or if it’s even the right community to vent about this. I just really want to replace Reddit, but I find myself going back more and more (e.g. r/homekit is very active compared to Lemmy version).

Thanks for proving my point with this triggered entitled ranting text wall. You doing what you do does not mean I owe you anything, not in form of feeling obligated to submit things, and I even less so have to take stupid insults from you about getting upset for you not working hard enough for me. If that's the type of shit you make up in your head about the users within the fediverse then please, stop contributing. You're like all those power tripping mod abusers who feel so entitled about it that they expect a "thank you" for ignoring disinformation and ruling over comments in a hypocritical manner. We've had this type of shit on Reddit already, we sure as hell don't need it here.

There, that's how I react when I'm actually upset. You're welcome.

Dude, okay I'm done. I didn't even insult you, in fact I rewrote that "wall of text" multiple times to try to explain my opinion as neutrally as I could. I've tried in honest faith to try to explain my point of view to you multiple times, and I don't know how else to explain it.
