@PurpCat@eidolon@Forestofenchantment@Inginsub@suquili And that is what attracts the fedposts. It makes no sense to fedpost on a board like /v/ unless you can come up with some credible threat to blow up a video game studio. But that's another advantage of imageboards (or at least forums in general). If you don't feel like talking about politics 24/7, there are other boards. Sure, political discussions will naturally bleed in, but it's not like here where your feed is 80% talking about the joos, advocating for TND, or talking about the latest distraction.
Which is quite a shame because a few years ago, the fedi seemed a lot more laid-back and open minded compared to other "free-speech" communities, now it's filled with these RW-podcaster types that I find even more cringe than most /pol/ users.
