Where on lemmy is there discussion about news, culture, and zeitgeist without people defaulting to boring and predictable political takes? (lemmy.world)

I swear sometimes I feel like I'm reading a bad newspaper comment section, like everyone is a poorly trained AI that just spouts default politically-oriented replies. The New York Times comment section for any given topic (not just current events, also culture etc) is way more interesting than most of it here.

Note this also applies to a LOT of reddit but there are some subreddits that are more interesting. A lot of them have their own circlejerk but at least when I first find them the "game" is new so I'm eager to read what people have to say.

Where on Lemmy is the actually good or interesting discussion happening, please, I really want something better, I am eager to contribute too, it's one of my resolutions for 2025.

You're upset because people aren't completely fucking insane with their hot takes on every topic under the sun? 🤨

Have you tried having a conversation with people locked up in a mental asylum?
