Fair enough, I get wanting things to be kept neutral. Ive just come to accept that certain people will always shoehorn politics into every hobby or conversation.

Ill die on the hill that vote brigading is not as bad on lemmy as it was on reddit. If you got heavily downvoted on reddit it restricted your ability to comment and participate with all kinds of unrelated communties on the site. If you get downvoted on lemmy nothing happens except your ego may take a hit.
