        You definitely can ignore [Trump quote of the day] and the 24h news cycle.

        Reading about what’s current once a week and otherwise just picking up stuff from conversations with your peers is enough.

        You definitely can, but you’ll have to uninstall Lemmy and all other social media for a while.

          This is the one thing that’s better about that other site. It’s so big that you can ignore politics while still enjoying your communities.
