And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don’t understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

“No politics please” sounds like a great rule until the results of politics kick down your door and black bag you.
There are enough places to talk about it, also not everyone is American
Evidently the sentiment isn’t having a wide enough reach, as people are crawling into their echo chambers to avoid not having to deal with the fallout of their apathy, handing elections over to the nasties.
Not everyone was German/Italian/Japanese in the 1930s-40s either. Pretty sure those countries still affected others, though.
And somehow reminding everyone on this echo chamber again even in non-political communities is going to reach those not here to see it? Just put it in the damn communities it belongs in problem solved, everyone here will see it but I can also go look at cool owls and shit for a second in peace, win win.
Somehow putting uncomfortable conversations into tiny boxes everyone avoids doesn’t feel like the way to stop the rise of the far right.
Enjoy the sand around your head, though.
“Tiny boxes” as in “the appropriate space where political discussion is welcome” is bad but “fuck you and your community rules what I say goes and you must see political shit in a dog community or whatever because you cannot breathe for ten fucking minutes” is good.
Enjoy contributing to burnout and forcing people to use wordlist blockers to censor all of the content instead of them seeing some, hurting your own cause can be good if it makes you feel morally superior to everyone else, though.
You’re constructed an excellent false dichotomy there, haven’t you?
No u, you’re the one who, on a conversation about not putting political things in rules-specified apolitical communities, decided to equate “talking about it in the appropriate place” to “echo chamber blah blah blah there must be no brief respite from my political posts even on communities that are specifically for other things despite there being mostly fucking political communities here.” As if posting on lemmy comms that are unrelated actually does fuck all for anyone in an actual echo chamber that might need to hear it. Go tell Rumble ffs, or goddamn threads/bluesky even, lemmy is already the echo chamber that knows all the other posts on lemmy it isn’t that big dude.
Your comment was a pain to read. Am I understanding correctly that you’re mostly repeating yourself and ignoring my point about your false dichotomy?
Nobody here is saying we need to invade /c/cutepicsofpuppies with Donald Trump is Bad posts. You’re saying “Get Politics off my Lemmy.” I’m saying somewhere in the middle is best.
