As others have said: filter filter filter. Lemmy is small enough still that you can massively curate by blocking communities and even users where you don't like what they post.

If you switch to programming.dev most political stuff gets automatically filtered away unless you're subscribed to it. Give it a try.
All I see is posts from "memes" I mean, I'm not angry, I just need to subscribe to more stuff
Okay, cool. You filtered it. People post and participate in those discussions because they want to for some reason. I you have something you'd prefer to discuss, go ahead and start a conversation.
