Wait, who said gender roles are dead? That’s not a thing. Assuming youre a man, most women that are interested in you (or might be interested in you in the future) will expect you to make the first move. I don’t think that’s the patriarchy at work; most straight women want a man who is confident and assertive and I don’t think there’s anything problematic about that.
Yeah I found that to be pretty annoying as well when I started. I don’t mind the occasional political post but it’s the same handful of talking points again and again so it gets old fast. I recommend just blocking users and blocking communities; you’d be surprised how quickly that clears them out. Lemmy is small enough that once you block a dozen or two people that post politics nonstop you give the other content room to breathe.
