I think this is mostly due to the highly polarized political climate. California is the most populous state and it's policies frequently end up spreading to other states and therefore is frequently focused on because if it's major influence. This is similar to how Texas and Florida are in the news a lot for their more conservative policies. While there are people out there who take the time to inform themselves and make their own decisions most people are only able to parrot back talking points they hear from the news or their friends. I suspect your coworker is one of those people and probably leans conservative so all he hears all day is how California's policies are making housing too expensive and it's too "woke" etc.

This person would probably be able to get away with living in the US without too many looks but this is a slang term for vagina in the UK so they might have a rough childhood there.

Maybe they changed it then. Last time I went there I got the same stream of celeb posts the OP was talking about with nothing else.

All of that stuff exists on lemmynsfw.com. you just have to be logged into the instance to see it from their home page. Most mainstream instances are defederated from it to prevent porn from showing up in all.

I think lemmit.online is already doing something like this and that whole instance is designed for it. They even have a community for suggestions on which subreddits to do. I would start there to avoid having to completely reinvent the wheel (unless you are into building things then by all means)

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Otherwise it's just some rumor.
