rr7The Lemmy experience
Just wait til March and next September
FTFY
July 2023:
US polítics, US polítics, US polítics
September 2023:
US polítics, US polítics, US polítics
DasnapI avoid news communities on every site I use and feel better for it.
s4ifSame here… never look back…
Same, but with everything remotely political
Gee I wonder why fascism is spreading in the world
ubermeistersLiterally
Dude, I’m just tired of listening ramblings about something that doesn’t concern me.
The problem is that politics affect nearly every person alive. If you stayed more informed you’d likely know that.
The attitude that you’d rather check out because you’re not impacted not only indicates a position of privilege, it’s precisely what evil leaders want because it helps them enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else.
I don’t really care to hear Americans fight over Trump/Biden like children for 4 years. Oh wait, it’s been more than 4 years, and they are still bitching about Trump.
Doesn’t concern me. Hit me up when you’re actually discussing politics that matter.
Yeah US politics definitely don’t matter globally lol
Evie Ugh… Wake Me Up, When September Ends.
September never ends.
SnipingNinjaHere comes the rain again
Spliffman1Do you remembaaa…?
Before I go-go?
Lemmy June 2023: China good, Ukraine bad, US dog poop
🐑🇸 🇭 🇪 🇪 🇵 🇱 🇪🐑Just avoid Lemmygrad and hexbear. Those are Cancer
But then you miss the Olympic level mental gymnastics
Olympics where everyone participating loses
FazooYou know they’re doping though. Kinda ruins the fun.
Lemmy.ml was no different back then
Glad it got better
Did it? lemmy.ml is still federated with those instances.
𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬That’s the only real downside. I just hope user-based ignore/block function for instances instead of just communities would become a thing.
It already is on Connect? I blocked both instances, so no posts from either show in my feed and comments from users on those instances on other posts appear as “blocked by an instance filter,” which you can choose to show it if you want
I meant in the account, not a third party app.
Yeah. It’d make things a lot easier. Today I made a mistake and got into a discussion with the tankies from hexbear. Don’t recommend. Will call you a nazi for not agreeing with their every statement.
I appreciate being federated, it gives me a chance to down vote them.
AdlachDevastating.
Apparently my instance disables downvoting…
Which counts for nothing
And there is still no fire escape.
Enjoy your death trap ladies!
BlackoutI don’t sub to the politics or us news do when browsing only subbed I get much better results for content I care about
Some people would rather whine about politics (that they disagree with).
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but recently U.S. one the U.S. political parties turned hard right to fascism. So, excuse me for caring about it bcz I live here.
They certainly have. People who whine that everything is political are usually just whining that the prevailing consensus is not consistent with their opinions.
Lemmy has always been overtly political. The whining is from the sort of people who move in near a live music venue so they can make noise complaints.
Fair, I assumed your comment was meant a different way than it was.
SotuandusoPeople who whine about political content are usually just whining that the prevailing consensus is not consistent with their opinions.
Are you implying that there’s a problem with not holding the same set of opinions as the majority? Reasonable disagreement without implicit immorality is possible on many issues.
Are you implying that there’s a problem with not holding the same set of opinions as the majority?
No. I’m saying that the whiners are only whining about political content because they disagree with it. They would rather have no political content than content they don’t agree with. It’s the same impulse that dismisses all representation of marginalized groups in media as “political.”
Or… maybe some people just don’t care about politics and would rather see dank memes than “Nazis are bad” even if they agree that Nazis are bad.
Not caring about politics is how the nazis and other fascist regimes came into power.
Earlier in this conversation, it was stated that the prevalent political stance here is left-wing, and that people who complain about politics usually disagree with the prevalent stance.
If that’s true, that means the people who don’t care about politics are usually centrist at best, or right-wing.
You decry not caring about politics because not caring helps the fascists, but if the people who aren’t caring would lean right anyways (and you presumably believe right-wingers are fascists or fascist-enablers,) then getting them to care is only going to harm your cause.
Even if they somehow don’t have a stance, if you tell them they’re not allowed to be ambivalent, do you expect them to join your side?
Yup, whine whine whine.
There are too many users on the right side though
Not true! I am currently having an argument over light bulbs!
DeceptichumNot a bright idea.
What a dimwit!
More like a shining example of internet etiquette
Are you sure that will be… enlightening?
Are they dim!?
I wish lemmy.ml would also ban politics so we could be finally free of hexbear and lemmygrad!
Hexbear and Lemmygrad are a blight
There’s so many other instances you can choose then.
I am the furthest thing from a dirty fucking communist but I understand that lemmy.ml is for communists. Don’t come into their community and change it to suit your beliefs
Hexbear and Lemmygrad isn’t communists. They’re Tankies with highly fascistic believes that only masquerade as communism
Marduk73On my feed directly above and below this post are two posts from world news and they are both articles about russia.
