It's pretty easy to filter out most political stuff on Lemmy and Reddit and similar platforms. Just subscribe to communities you like and stay out of All. If I go to All, I know what I'm in for. That's on me.

Respectfully I’d disagree. I can’t scroll through most of my meme or shitposting communities without seeing some politically flavored post, and there’s some kind of political comment on probably 85% of those posts. I get politics is an important topic but people often don’t have the class to keep politics out of the more “fun” communities. I keep to my subscribed list, block the spammers, but it’s fairly pervasive. I suppose that’s not all a bad thing as I get on social media a lot less atm. If you’ve got any additional tips though I’d love to hear them.

If you're using voyager you can filter words out, I've put a lot of the main political words in mine and only the odd one or 2 political posts get through.

Thunder has keyword filters. These help but aren't perfect.

Smells like "I can't be an asshole here cuz I'll get called out for it"

Same here. If I want to read and argue politics, I click on main. If I want to pass some time and see funny images, I stay on subscribed.
