I’m in the same spot. Even made a Lemmy account just so I can block communities. Then I go to technology/linux/memes communities and guess what? It’s american politics all over. And don’t even get me started on Reddit, at that point subreddits don’t even matter anymore. Even on the subreddit related to my own country in eastern Europe, every day I see a ton of pointless “Trump news”. And mods justification is always “it’s TOTALLY related to our country because US politics impacts the entire world”. Like, what’s the point anymore? We might as well talk about Trump and Musk in the plants or lego community.

Well, from what I’ve seen, they’re really bad at boycotting things. They couldn’t even handle “reddit blackout” in 2023 and most of redditors came back after a day.

Yup.

I think there’s a good chance that a lot of the knowledge we have today could be lost entirely if civilization collapses to a certain degree just due to how we store it.

We do have some backups.
