I hope I will not get downvoted because I’m genuinely wondering

Lemmy almost has no users from neither Israel or Palestine, however most of communities filled with Anti Israel content, I even tried muting all news related communities, but now I see anti Israel content in completely unrelated communities, like [email protected] and [email protected]

Is there a reason why Lemmy is so fixated on Israel/Palestine? Neither of other world conflicts get even close in terms of attention. It’s neither a case on my microblogging Fediverse account or my most “algoritmic” social media, even kbin part of the Threadiverse seems not as obsessed with it, what’s so different about Lemmy?

(Sorry for a bit clickbait-y title)

Edit: I actually might take down this post because half of people in replies completely misunderstood it

    I know it is the main political discourse, and yes I know how many attention it gets But I don’t see much attention to it outside of the political circles neither on Twitter or on Reddit outside of a few specific exceptions

      Maybe you’re not subscribed to many places, I see it everywhere in my feeds. For what it’s worth I rarely see it on Lemmy outside of meme and politics communities.

        On social media I usually have 2 accounts 1 political and 1 apolitical one, with different following and interactions in general. On my apolitical accounts even if I got such content in first week or two when everyone were talking about it I stopped getting it on my feeds since then.

        One of commenters pointed that it might be a problem with mod actions federating then, even tho I’m not sure if that’s the reason.
