Too much american spam. I do not give a shit about their election. I do not wish to interact with instances based in a country that allows war criminals to talk at its highest assembly instead of arresting him (looking at you lemmy.world)
I like news but American news is trash. I block all communities that are dedicated to US News but I'd love it if people wouldn't post US news to "world"
Yeah I've been rough, no hate towards americans. But jesus christ I don't give a shit about donald trump please leave me alone.
You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It's world news. And yeah there's a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there's plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that's lacking?
Do you know one that doesn't spam idiotic trump shit? I'm a taker
lemmy.ml removed the c/politics because is basically c/usa like the c/politics in lemmy.world
i think /c/politics@lemmy.ml was removed due to redundancy with /c/worldnews@lemmy.ml more than /c/usa@lemmy.ml.
that's not to say it couldn't be a place for non-news-related political discussions, but in practice it mostly got posts which would fit in worldnews.
it could be restored if one or more users with a good history wants to take responsibility for moderating it.
Yeah, but this also has the downsides of being on Lemmy.ml
For al those who don't know: Lemmy.ml mods are tankies. They are known for deleting stuff that doesn't fit their ideology and doing the regular tankie stuff. It isn't as bad as lemmygrad or hexbear, but they are still tankies. This is also the reason I try to avoid community's hosted on Lemmy.ml.
What that have to do with "Too much american spam."?
They removed c/politics and keep c/usa.
You say on a Lemmy.ml community, lol
looking at you lemmy.world)
Isn't LW managed by Dutch people?
Lemmy.world is overwhelmingly American, which is the point they are making. Managers being Dutch or not doesn't change the demographics.
Ok what's your suggestion? Rate limit American signups so you can have your adorable little euro echo chamber where you can sip espresso without having to be reminded about your young upstart overseas cousin that is doing so much better than you at nearly everything?
Yes. Boycott-genocide supporting countries. It's not that hard.
That's everyone? There is no land that is not stained with the blood of a culture conquered for a better equipped, more organized culture. Not a single inch.
See that's why nobody likes you. Obnoxious and loud. Maybe you could focus on politics instead of that retarded reality show you call an election.
Plenty of people like me, IRL is not online my guy. I've been focusing on politics since the late 80s and I'm tired boss...
It would be nice actually lmao
I think this is exactly what I'd like to change about Lemmy's culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.
The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself "I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion" The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.
