I’m in the same place. Avoiding politics is not only for my mental health.

In my case, for personal as well as professional reasons, I particularly need to avoid communities where advocating for political violence is tolerated (and in some even condoned.)

I blocked all the politics-specific or adjacent communities, but most of Lemmy seems to want everything to be about politics.

That’s way too toxic for me so I have to detach from Lemmy. I deleted my main account and I’m going to come back in a few months to see if it has calmed down.
