I would still like to browse lemmy without us politics being shoved down my throat

The test determined, that was a lie. Y'all certainly stay engaged for extended periods of time for people who don't want to think about it when you could, as people are wont to say, "Keep Scrolling."

What you mean is that you want to browse lemmy without being reminded that the world is broken and your apathy fuels it's broken state.

Left: "I don't want to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings"

Right: "And yet here you are at Buffalo Wild Wings"

If you don't want politics, don't engage. Don't like how political a community is? Leave. Can't find an "apolitical" one? Start your own.

Otherwise, you WANT politics, you just want to screech at people you disagree with and say it's not political because you say so.
