I think on Lemmy it's pretty common to go really into the weeds with political discussion on every comment.

"I like boats"

"Wow, uhm, let's unpack the problematic bourgeoisie mindset behind your statement and how that reveals you are a racist, hate free software and probably kick dogs."

"I just said I like boats..?"

"Oh you're backpedaling now are you?!?"

It's pretty funny tbh. I've had some interesting conversation because of that.

It can be funny, but it's also kind of exhausting. I often want to just chat about whatever the topic of the thread is, not end up in a verbal fist-fight over whether I'm a misogynist or whatever other imaginary offence that I've given through my random comment.

I guess I simply want the option for non-political discussion. And an ethnostate for deer.
