Why do I get the impression that it's so politicised though?

I don't have any political affiliations and I don't care about any of that stuff anymore.

Frankly there are too many retards on all sides of the spectrum.

Just more poison.

Where's the wholesomeness.

Choose the right instance.

Choose any instance, follow a whole bunch of people, block a whole bunch of other people, see where the interesting people are, migrate your account.

There's almost no politics on my instance.

I'm on two instances: the largest one and a specialist energy-related one, and neither has much nastiness going on, at least that I see.

There is some politics, but from people that I have chosen to follow. So if I get bored of the (mainly US) stuff, I can just unfollow or mute.

I've blocked about 2 accounts so far. And even those weren't too bad.
