User groups you would be interested in get hijacked by whatever the overall sentiment of Reddit is. Threads that aren't political suddenly get political for no reason. It's completely dead in there - content quality is brutally low.
- awfulneutral 2y agoI just bookmark subreddits for things I'm interested in, and visit them individually. I hardly ever see any political content doing that.
- bombcar 2y agoThe key is to stay in smaller, dedicated subreddits and avoid anything remotely popular or generic.
- JKCalhoun 2y agor/localllama, r/bambulabs ... Politics has a way of creeping in.
- lmm 2y agoPoliticisation happens, though slowly. Therewasanattempt used to be funny pictures/videos and is now purely TDS. My city's sub used to have useful local content and is now about 50% national politics.
- tacticalturtle 2y agoThe wave of X bans was so frustrating. Particularly for sports subreddits where that’s where all of the breaking news and team announcements happen. In fact NFL teams are specifically banned from having bluesky accounts as an official media channel, and r/nfl still banned X/Twitter. sigh
- nmfisher 2y agoWhy are NFL teams banned from having an official account on Bluesky?
- tacticalturtle 2y agoIt’s not an “approved social media site”: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/patriots-say-nfl-wont-allow-teams-to-be-on-bluesky-yet https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/new... Presumably there’s some money that needs to change hands between the NFL and a social media site.
