I like to be informed, however I wouldn’t call whatever happens on lemmy as information sharing but more like endless ranting. I get it it is what it is but I think it is healthier to have more than one topic
On the plus side my internet usage went down because I just do news check up daily and I lose desire to use internet further

Yeah, it’s not easy to ignore when the US goverment starts sending people to concentration camps
You had no problem ignoring it for decades previously.

Because foreign lives actually are worth just as American ones.

It was being en mass before. The only difference is that now it’s effecting (non African) Americans.

Americans when they realize they’re wrong, but are to much arrogance pieces of shit to admit it.
Not wanting to follow donald ducks disastrous adventures isn’t burying your head in the sand IMO.
Sounds like their problem, not mine. They voted for it, I wouldn’t expect you to care much about British internal politics either.

Can’t just bury your head in the sand and say you don’t care about politics
I can actually and science proves it’s better for mental health.
Which are topics covered by 90% of the forums here already. If you browse for memes you should be allowed to see some. instead you get AOC Simps sharing some rally.
Blocking users posting political campaigning on meme forums are now modus operandi.
Try posting that shit on the woodworking forum and see how it flies. The meme forums are poorly moderated.

A picture of a crowd with the headline AOC and Sanders gathered 35000 people this weekend is hardly a meme.
Have you considered I might be European? And I might be somewhat interested in American politics, but I’m also interested in other shit to. If Lemmy wants to succeed it will have to cater to a wider audience than the most politically engaged core.
Blocking a few users have cleansed my front page alot. I hake no issues with people discussing their political worries. Thats imoortant in any free State. What’s not important is forcing those discussions into any minor irrelevant topic.

Have you considered… that political memes… should be posted to the communities specifically for political memes? I know, crazy, right?
If someone wants to bury their head in the sand while everything burns, that’s their perogative.
Personally, I get more than enough exposure to the ongoing situation through other sources. I don’t need my haha funnies to pull double duty, and I’d argue that they’re an incredibly poor format to convey useful information for staying properly informed.
I definitely don’t need random internet asshole busybodies deciding they know my information needs better than I do.
They might not bury their head in the sand either. They might be engaged in the topics, but at the moment they just want to see what funny references exist in a non political sphere.
While true, not all Lemmy is american.

Yeah, that “I don’t care about politics is what brought them there in the first place”, but they will never acknowledge that, instead they will just double down on their aggressive apatheism.
Just set up some filters and you will more peace. Some will still get through but it will not feel like a deluge.
But but but what if you’re a dumb dumb like me and don’t know where the filters are?
Well then you just see that content day in, day out and slowly sink into a pit of despair.
Oh good, I’m right on track then!
🥲
Serioulsy though, try to figure out how to filter these things. I have been a lot less sad and depressed since I did it.
I figured it out! XD the feed is a lot less annoying now.
Awesome! Enjoy the peace :-)
please filter out politics. we don’t want you whiney pacifists whining about not seeing enough linux memes.
I got ya
I would post more but I got this computer yesterday and have not transferred my old meme folder yet. Ah well
Subscribed !
Helps a little bit.
What’s that from? I can filter on my desktop that way via Adblock origin but not on my phone.
Lemmy custom interface. An example one is Tesseract.
Alternatively you can use Ublock filters.
A disturbance in the Fediverse. As if a million posts and comments cried out and were silenced.
They fixed that bug so now if someone cross posts your content and gets banned, it won’t delete your images
And then you look for a community devoted to your hobbies and the most recent post is from a year ago.
Come to my sub.
Block .world and the feed is massively better
Always have been

I mean, it’s a BIG FUCKING PROBLEM
Fenslerfilms GI Joe PSA’s ftw. “Pork chop sandwiches!!!”
Who wants a body massage?
Fi-fi-fire on your sleeve!
I might occasionally be accused of being political, but yes. Lemmy is no escape. Many users from any instance will jam their politics into anything and everything, constantly. It’s genuinely weathering.
You want to vibe and chill? HOW DARE YOU! DONT YOU KNOW X IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!?!?!?!?
WHY ARENT YOU MAD ABOUT X??? ARE YOU A MONSTER??
Starting to think of unsubing from technology, too often it’s about trump and musk. But it’s also one of the largest communities.
Problem when most active communities at least sometimes include US political bullshit is that few are left without it if you just want to block it. We are not all Americans, it isn’t helpful to constantly have US bullshit showing up. Hopefully as lemmy grows the smaller communities will grow and I can have a feed full of kayaking, Linux memes and homebrewing.
I mean we live in a neo nazi fasict state. It was chill during bama years
No, it was chill for you

Sometimes it yearn for the days the Harlem shake was a meme, and the Numa Numa guy, and badgers badgers badgers…
And if you really want to go even farther back to the 90s and super early 2000s internet (i am talking about pre 9/11) you had Where Are The Toons Now? And peanut butter jelly time and the Mr. T vs. (Insert random opponent here). Does anyone remember when Mr. T was an internet meme? Or even Bert is evil (a 90s meme literally stopped by 9/11).
While fun stuff obviously still exists aplenty (i actually like the skibidi stuff) I just wish we could do that again. But Trump is fucking everything up so much that I can simply cannot look away. It is everywhere.
Yeah that’s fine but you don’t need to tell us all about the continuous unraveling of your society.
Our society.
You’re the man now dog
