If you intend to get informed or do any sort of political discussion on lemmy I'm afraid that's not possible. They're as radicalized as can be
I just resorted to blocking every political sub, including the ones masquerading as non political. Like every news sub
ok, so which instances do i need to block to not feel cringe every day browsing lemmy?
Frankly I just blocked sub by sub and user by user because otherwise you might lose out on non political content.
Basically every time you see a sub that's full of political content you block the sub and if you see a political post of a sub that is mostly ok you just block the OP
Afaik there are specific instances where most of these users gather but I didn't go that route because I wanted to avoid blocking legitimate stuff as much as possible
