    I have a very long list of blocked political keywords and yet somehow Lemmy users find a way to make political posts that get around all my filters. It is very frustrating. So now I have started just blocking individual users if they post about politics, because a person that posts about it once is most likely going to do it again.

    Lemmy without politics is kinda a ghost board. There is maybe 3 or 4 new posts a day. For someone who is not so active, its not much of a problem, but compared to Reddit it is highly frustrating that so much Lemmy content is about politics.

      I think your approach of blocking any user who posts about politics is eliminating the most prolific posters when 95% of their stuff is non-political. This is not to say your approach is bad, just that it doesn’t actually represent “Lemmy without politics”.
