I have noticed the high level of political memes and threads and don’t care for it. I didn’t understand why they were so common, I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.
I will try a different instance and report back.

I hear you. When I first joined .ml, they were pressing for people NOT to join it. To create their own instances so that .ml didn’t become a central entity, and get overwhelmed with users. The latter did occur during the reddit exodus.
I also agree that they can curate and manipulate the instance to their ideals, which will limit casual users and their reach.
I don’t feel like I’m being secluded, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I have seen hate for .ml users and hexbear users, and I really don’t get it. The fediverse shouldn’t be segregating users based on what instance they’re in. That’s like saying all US citizens are awful because they live there.
That’s a cool take on it. I feel like I just haven’t found a solid hobby that’s fun to me. I’ve tried several, the only things that have partially stuck are video games, programming, and DND, but they still feel like a chore to keep learning.
I’m exactly the same. Hobbies just don’t stick, and I can’t commit to the grind of getting better at them.
Have you been diagnosed with adhd by chance? I haven’t, but I suspect it’s one symptom.
The views of .ml mods have not affected me. I don’t really check my subscription feed, only /all or /top->day, therefor im still exposed to all those other communities.
The only instances that I’ve noticed are missing are porn related, and as an asexual, I don’t have an interest in them. If I did, I could just visit a different site, like pornhub or w/e
Not all .ml users are tankies, or communist, or foss enthusiasts. I’m just a guy who likes memes and tech
“I love when my girl is naked”
Oh heck
F O O D
Similar theory. That’s usually how I find out a poster is trolling. I ask for clarification and they double down on their original post
Memes: upvote if I find it funny

But, there are exceptions
Sounds like you’re describing dissociation. I’d talk to a therapist if possible. It might be triggered by trauma or other condition as someone else mentioned.
I’m sure they established a poop corner
Why?
Why though?
This stick I use so that my window doesn’t slam closed
I don’t really visit FOSS communities, however I have given my fair share of bug reports and feedback. (I’m a game programmer)
Most communities welcome the feedback. I know I can be blunt, or even out of line while reporting sometimes. I try to be the “asshole” before another person comes along without my experience who actually is an asshole and doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
It’s also a minor test to see how they respond to rough feedback. I don’t think anyone has mishandled it so far. They are always polite and respectful to customers, and I usually relax after the first encounter.
I try to make it clear that the feedback I give has importance (when i know what im talking about), or if its minor, i tell them its not a real issue, not worth fixing, etc. If they reject it, it stops there. More often than not, they are understanding.
I don’t recall any blatant arrogance in any responses so far.
So I decided to go to sopuli.xyz. Viewing their all/hot is not much different than what I have now. However Sopuli is closer to what I expected .ml to be. There are some instances with zero defederations (completely unsensored), but I’m happy not seeing porn, discrimination, or ads in their feed. @Oka@sopuli.xyz
