Greyscale ( @greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org ) English72•10 months agoLiterally seen more whining about politics than I’ve seen politics.
gerryflap ( @gerryflap@feddit.nl ) 8•10 months agoDoes your instance federate with Hexbear and Lemmygrad? Because I constantly have those people in my feed and it’s absolutely exhausting. I see more memes about burning the rich and starting a revolution than normal memes in my feed. I’m left-wing, but I’m not looking at memes to constantly be confronted with politics. Unfortunately instance blocking isn’t working well for me yet
Greyscale ( @greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org ) English2•10 months agoAlas, yes it does, but idk, stop looking at shit memes.
gerryflap ( @gerryflap@feddit.nl ) 4•10 months agoOh I wish to stop looking at shit memes, but if more than half of them are tankie crap it’s obviously going to degrade the experience
Greyscale ( @greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org ) English2•10 months agoYou need a better meme plug. I’d share my sources, but I don’t want them to get too popular, yaknow?
WldFyre ( @WldFyre@lemm.ee ) 4•10 months agoYou wouldn’t know them, they go to another instance
Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 5•10 months agoSame. OP is no 2 for my blocklist of literal children crying about politics.
10_0 ( @10_0@lemmy.ml ) 5•10 months agoI’m glad for you, please let me know what instance you’re on
Greyscale ( @greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org ) English4•10 months agoYour instance doesn’t affect what you see, except in cases of de-federation.
Do you read the comments too, or just scroll through the feed?
Greyscale ( @greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org ) English8•10 months agoI do. And it doesn’t phase me, just scroll on past, like that homeless man you ignore in the street.
pjhenry1216 ( @pjhenry1216@kbin.social ) 4•10 months agoI’ve seen a sudden influx of memes all about this and I don’t know why. It’s suddenly the new trend and I don’t understand it.
bquintb ( @bquintb@midwest.social ) English3•10 months agoWaah…I don’t want to press the downvote button, id rather whine about all the things I don’t like. People should automatically anticipate my desires and cater to them… Waaahh
Veraticus ( @Veraticus@lib.lgbt ) English42•10 months agoMake your own instance with the politics you want.
There is no such thing as non-political spaces, only spaces where everyone has pre-agreed on what politics are acceptable.
Eq0 ( @Eq0@literature.cafe ) 18•10 months agoThere is no such thing as a non-political discussion either! ;) everything is politics in some sense
NaibofTabr ( @NaibofTabr@infosec.pub ) English17•10 months agoNo, everything is math.
Eq0 ( @Eq0@literature.cafe ) 3•10 months agoMath is life!
🦄🦄🦄 ( @Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de ) 42•10 months agoI am wary of people using an unspecified “politics tho” like this. More than once the “”“PoLiTiCs”“” they meant were LGBTQIA+ people simply existing.
Honestly I never got why LGBT+ is even a political thing. It’s just basic human rights. But probably my opinion will be seen as politics by some.
🦄🦄🦄 ( @Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de ) 15•10 months agoThat was my point. It’s NOT political. The right is just using their existence as a scape goat.
meyotch ( @meyotch@slrpnk.net ) 11•10 months agoIf there are two or more people, there are politics. I agree with the idea that people who decry ‘politics’ often have disgusting ideas and beliefs. Its a malignant form of privilege to pretend to be able to ignore politics. It’s either that or they are just a little dim and don’t feel they can keep up in a conversation.
10_0 ( @10_0@lemmy.ml ) 2•10 months agoLeast annoying strawman
- shiveyarbles ( @shiveyarbles@beehaw.org ) 24•10 months ago
I’m immediately suspicious of people that don’t want to discuss politics in today’s world. You literally have to be a carefree ostrich.
nooneescapesthelaw ( @nooneescapesthelaw@lemmy.ml ) 6•10 months agoNot really. I want to kick back and relax, why would i start discussing politics in my free time? I live in a state that is deeply entrenched in one side, so my opinion does not really matter
- shiveyarbles ( @shiveyarbles@beehaw.org ) 2•10 months ago
Sounds like you’re asking yourself a philosophical question. Some people actually care about things.
Polar ( @Polar@lemmy.ca ) 4•10 months agoTell me how it’s “suspicious” to not want to read a post about Starfield, and have the comments be filled about politics because the game allows you to pick between he/him, she/her, and they/them?
It’s a game. Shut the fuck up about politics.
- shiveyarbles ( @shiveyarbles@beehaw.org ) 4•10 months ago
Umm how is that politics? I think you’re confused.
Polar ( @Polar@lemmy.ca ) 4•10 months agoAmerica has turned pronouns political. I think you’re confused.
- shiveyarbles ( @shiveyarbles@beehaw.org ) 3•10 months ago
Ahh ok any social issue that makes people uncomfortable is political.
Polar ( @Polar@lemmy.ca ) 1•9 months agoI don’t think you understand what pronouns are.
Armok: God of Blood ( @ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•9 months agoArguing politics online has never solved anything. I have better uses of my energy than to argue politics with a bunch of faceless randoms that won’t accept anything less than total conformity.
Rolder ( @Rolder@reddthat.com ) 3•10 months agoPolitics in a political or news sub is fine. Politics in, say, a technology sub or a gaming one is just annoying.
MartinXYZ ( @MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml ) 2•10 months agoI think they prefer to be called “Austrians”
null ( @null@slrpnk.net ) 23•10 months agoI wish people would stop using “politics” as a buzzword for every bit of news they don’t care to hear about.
Polar ( @Polar@lemmy.ca ) 15•10 months agoNews is fine.
It’s when people start screaming/blaming the “left” or “right”, the “biden” or “trump”, etc.
Extra annoying when I am not even fucking American and have to hear Americans scream about your old senile corpses you call presidents in EVERY FUCKING POST.
Extra extra annoying when I am reading a news article about my country, and Americans roll in screaming about how that’s “bidens fault” or “illegal in montana”. Learn to fucking read where you are.
EddoWagt ( @EddoWagt@feddit.nl ) 1•9 months agoHow does this compare to other western countries?
RandomVideos ( @RandomVideos@programming.dev ) 13•10 months agoI havent seen anyone talk about politics on programming.dev
nxdefiant ( @nxdefiant@startrek.website ) 6•10 months agoNothing but holy wars there.
bquintb ( @bquintb@midwest.social ) English8•10 months agoSeems to me lemmy needs a bigger downvote button
Anarki_ ( @Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 8•10 months agoPreach.
I meant taken over, but can’t change it now on mobile
10_0 ( @10_0@lemmy.ml ) 3•10 months agoAmen brother speak up!
