        Politics is a core part of Lemmy, since most of us are here are here on ideological grounds against Reddit.

          Umm… have you tried having a positive identity instead of negative? I believe it would do a lot for us if lemmy was percieved as a ‘community of smart people with interesting discussions’ instead of ‘not reddit’

            The fact that Reddit is by far larger means choosing Lemmy is out of a deliberate choice in its favor systemically. This is usually more ideological in basis.
