Oh man, y’all be careful saying you’re avoiding politics on Lemmy, people get real mad. Like dude, it’s draining, leave me alone

“I went online and now I’m a victim!” folks are the ones who need to log off the most. Unfortunately, they’re also the ones who seem clinically incapable of not posting.
