I hope I will not get downvoted because I’m genuinely wondering
Lemmy almost has no users from neither Israel or Palestine, however most of communities filled with Anti Israel content, I even tried muting all news related communities, but now I see anti Israel content in completely unrelated communities, like !android@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz
Is there a reason why Lemmy is so fixated on Israel/Palestine? Neither of other world conflicts get even close in terms of attention. It’s neither a case on my microblogging Fediverse account or my most “algoritmic” social media, even kbin part of the Threadiverse seems not as obsessed with it, what’s so different about Lemmy?
(Sorry for a bit clickbait-y title)
Edit: I actually might take down this post because half of people in replies completely misunderstood it
I am talking about apolitical communities, or those that are supposed to be apolitical at least, i apologize if I haven’t made it clear enough in my original thread.
There is no such thing as an “apolitical” community - not here on the fediverse or anywhere else.
@masquenox
Prove it
@Fitik
Lemmy doesn’t have many enforced apolitical communities. Because even the meaning of apolitical is contentious and arguably political.
@JohnDClay
What is an example of a political aspect to defining “apolitical”?
@Fitik
Is being trans political for example.
@JohnDClay
No if you just happen to be trans. Yes if you’re doing activism about it.
Is this political for example? People would say both ways.

Another example is fictional character relationships. Are the lesbian relationships in arcane political for example?

Political because it’s a caricature of trans reactionism.
I have never read or heard of arcane.
Also, highly recommend arcane, great series.
I would argue the meme is non political, since it’s just a pun on the word. Hence why two different people can have different views on what is political or not.
@JohnDClay
But is that disagreement political?
