I don’t see heaps of memes that are this politically charged but I do see this type of content. However- most politically charged content in my feed comes from international news or environmental communities so it makes sense to be there.
What has always been around since I’ve joined is communist shitposting, and it’s the only type of politically charged content I see frequently enough to just go “ugh, again” whenever I see it.
I agree with you in that it doesn’t have to be everywhere, though. I don’t think I have many filters on, to what communities are you subscribed that this is taking over your feed?
I don’t know exactly the correlation, since it seems to be all over. News, entertainment, and other even niche communities have a lot of politically motivated content that gets posted that is not just silly memes or factual reporting, or on-topic discussion.
Yeah, I saw the communist stuff too. But I set filters early on that hide content by keyword in Connect for Lemmy, which is what I typically use for browsing. I filter all content mentioning pretty much anything political and a few other subjects, but a lot of content still gets through because it doesnt trigger the keyword detection. The filters really helped to hide all that stuff early on, so it hasnt been as bad as when I first joined, but things still get through pretty often. So now I just block users that post that stuff, since users will typically post more similar content.
