I agree. I don’t think this sub should get political.
It’s uplifting news and has nothing to do with politics. Perhaps Reddit is a better place for you
Everything is political. The sooner you get over this "I'm tired of politics, let me enjoy my doomscrolling" attitude, the more respectable you'll be.
No it isn't. This is how subs like r/technology got ruined, the whole thing got filled with "political post that involves technology" instead of just "technology".
Everything is politically when you have people at the top wanting to take away your rights and be able to have their followers kill you in the streets.
It actually is.
Technology is one of the most politically charged topics possible. Even leaving aside big tech and AI stuff, you have the ideologues behind the open source movement, or the fact that a lot of our modern tech infrastructure is built on conflict resources and manufactured by forced labor. Politics ripple through every aspect of our lives.
Anything can be political but doesn't have to be. A good technology sub would look something like this:
And instead it became a shitflinging cesspool of:
I think you’ll find across the spectrum, people are frustrated to the point where it’s not a political issue

this is uplifting but i agree
