This platform is almost 100% idealism and politics. Any hobby/technical community goes completely inactive.

Second this. A lotta dumb political crap.

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Most of the crap itself isn't even political. Just dumb crap people from "political" communities.

What I wanted was the style of old school forums to discuss games, movies, sports teams etc and that’s not what this has turned out to be. Was happy at first and as the weeks have gone by I find it’s almost the same as Reddit (and even worse in some ways.)

Way too many political arguments and posts, to the point where it’s a turn off because it’s injected into everything.
