I don’t think we really have anything to discuss. But it’s remarkable how hard you’re trying to stick to your point of view. Still, this is getting us nowhere.
I’m just trying to help you out, you have a misunderstanding that is causing you frustration, and in fact that frustration is not based in reality. It’s sad to see someone be upset about Lemmy being against being political, when Lemmy is extremely in favor of being political. You do inhabit the kind of community you seek, but your cognitive bias is preventing you from seeing that, and so you are upset for no reason.
I’ll just try one more thing. If you look at the top 10 communities, https://discuss.tchncs.de/communities?listingType=All&sort=TopMonth&page=1, you’ll see that only 3 of them have rules against politics. This means that of those user activity counts, 67.7% of all activity has been in communities with zero rules against politics.
I know you want to be upset about this, and I know it’s tempting to wallow in righteous indignation. You need to decide if you’d rather do that or open your eyes to the fact that you’re already in a community which agrees with your stance on no politics rules. I am presenting solid reasoning with multiple data points comprising a hundred thousand users worth of activity, all you do is trot out the same post with 300 upvotes. Take a step back from your righteous indignation for a moment and consider that you may be wrong, and if you really want what you say you do, you should actually be happy at the prospect of that.
