Don't worry. As a little experiment, I've found time and time again across a whole range of social media sites over years, that having a username that some people could perceive as aggressive will get you blocked / banned faster than you would believe. The people of Lemmy are not as different/open as they think they are!
Unfortunately, when I open groups, I get called out that it should be merged with a sort-of-similar group, and then of course, empty groups are hard to start.
Having to take the effort to block all the politics in the first place mean 90% of people won't do it and will get tied up with giving their asshole to each post rather than perhaps what they wanted to come here for in the first place. I believe that doesn't create an overall diverse community. Sentiment analysis is an old and established form of ai that would be useful here.
It's the exact thing I meant and didn't realise I had to be explicit as I thought this would be common knowledge amongst these vocal self-proclaimed worldly people. It happens with any extremist group, terrorist cells or potential threats to the government and where better to obtain such information than online? It's naive to think the world's governments don't also have a lemmy presence with relevant operations. "oh but we're too smol, they wouldn't bother waaahh" is exactly what such organisations would want the community to think.
Ok, problems not denied... So, everything's fixed, right? The people are essentially powerless - politics aside - and arguing such things is moot and a distraction to a happy life.
It isn't that it contradicts any political biases. But, it's like, ok, enough, we get it, yawn, now for positive stuff like hobbies, fun stuff, not the same whinging circle jerk over and over again.
Sure, I'm thinking controls for a better feed that doesn't give voice to the constant political crap, more control over it, better blocking of post bots and AI slop generating bots.
Honestly, I'd rather just look for a better server with less politically outspoken nobodies.
Thanks, I guess that's the phrase. You have to have the same mentality as everyone including the mods otherwise you're banned. Challenging opinions isn't allowed. In my feed I want to see projects, hacks (in all different kinds of hobbies), things I could do, or other things people enjoy doing, not constant memes about Trump / America that are probably being paid to be put there. If I want the latter, I'd go to facebook.
Keep posting your projects and show it off. If the community resents it, let them go to their silly elitists groups.
The same point was posted before the "ceasefire" to do exactly what you're doing now. If you want MAGA to 'realise' go post the shit wherever those people go. This narrative was posted exactly to manipulate lemmy audiences who already have a hatred towards ICE.
