The vibe I get from a lot of the political and antiwork stuff is astroturfing and/or highschoolers. It’s a bunch of meme-driven babble that started as a solid pro union anticapatilistic sentiment that grew into nonsense.
I also find it harder to isolate communities I don’t care to be brigaded by. I politically involved enough in my own life. Memes on memes on memes.
The “windows bad linux good” is a great frame for most communities ive found here. Like often wrapped in some delusional joke-meme that it’s an extremely small parody of itself.
Idk I don’t exactly find Lemmy a bastion of my interests. It’s very clear the community is far smaller. The niche communities of topics im interested are mostly nonexistent and it’s largely a sea of memes and references I don’t remotely understand or care to. Something about communists or some shit? What? Pass.
I get the concern with bloatwear but it’s never been a concern for me with a TV. I simply use Roku and it’s functioned extremely well. I also don’t connect my TV to the internet for the most part. It’s literally as simple as that. It’s not like my TV is running out of storage.
