Lemmy doesn't have many enforced apolitical communities. Because even the meaning of apolitical is contentious and arguably political.
@JohnDClay
What is an example of a political aspect to defining "apolitical"?
@Fitik
Is being trans political for example.
@JohnDClay
No if you just happen to be trans. Yes if you're doing activism about it.
Is this political for example? People would say both ways.

Another example is fictional character relationships. Are the lesbian relationships in arcane political for example?
@JohnDClay

Political because it's a caricature of trans reactionism.
I have never read or heard of arcane.
Also, highly recommend arcane, great series.
I would argue the meme is non political, since it's just a pun on the word. Hence why two different people can have different views on what is political or not.
@JohnDClay
But is that disagreement political?
Trans reactionism sounds political to me. Is it not?
Actually, suprisingly, maybe not "enforced" but it does have a lot of vibrant and different communities not related to politics.
I mean the moderators don't usually take down political things from what I've seen. Memes on .ml for example is specifically okay with propaganda posters.
And every other nations’ propaganda, notably Western’ nations. * appear on every other instance.
