When you ignore politics:

Well, the ‘politics’ communities are usually used by US folks as their politics communities. It’s great that Trump is doing senile-old-man things again, but I cannot vote for or against the guy anyways. So, there is no real reason for me to keep up with that drama.

Remember kids, nothing doesn’t apply to you, everything was made specifically for you. If you find yourself in a community that seems like it doesn’t apply to you, remember that you’re never in the wrong place, obviously it is that community who is in the wrong.

This is certainly what they want you to think.

The fact is that “both sides” (sorry) are selling a pill for doom. The fire meme above is whatever Trumps latest scary/dumb thing he said, or it’s 40 network cameras focused on a 100 SqYd patch of a city that wants to be on the news.

It’s whatever will mobilize you to donate, click, watch, buy, and yes, vote.

We only got the fire meme because we don’t understand fire.

I still browse through the political communities occasionally but I hate how their posts absolutely dominate the main page by default.

Except it’s mostly Americans, and their politics mostly has nothing to do with me. Such is life I suppose.

Give it time, eventually we will do an imperialism to your country too.

Being apolitical is just accepting status quo which is, funnily enough, also an explicit political stance.

There a huge difference between apolitical and not wanting to be spammed by left-wing echo chamber talking points. Who do leftists think they are reaching on Lemmy anyways lol.

There is a list of people I have radicalized, actually.

And obviously this is not an echo chamber. Tell people not to vote for a blue team genocider and libs freak out.

Lemmy was made by Communists, it has a ton of Communists and Anarchists as a consequence. Believe it or not, Leftist outreach is working on Lemmy.

While I appreciate yalls community service, the revolution will not be hosted online.

You can always go back to reddit. First of all, to even consider .ml “left wing echo chamber” you need to be more far right than Hitler*, since even open genocide support argued by a lot of people here** is “left wing” to you? Difference is, .ml admins arent US govt bootlickers unlike reddit admins and you can’t just scream for them to shut us communists like you people did on reddit.

*Oh, an .worlder, figures.

**Mostly .worlders and such, the fact such a genocidal proaganda isn’t banned on sight is a visible testament to .ml not being an echo chamber.

You can vote without having 70 % of your feed filled with the fucked up USA politics.

To be fair, voting is less than the bare minimum effort required to enact meaningful change.

And how can you know what meaningful change even is without staying on top of current events?

You just equated blocking c/politics with being broadly pro status quo. You can be politically engaged and active and not like the discussions on c/politics.

No, i equated being apolitical with being pro status quo. Being apolitical was implied by not wanting to hear about politics and reaching “inner peace” as a result.

Anyone telling American voters to ignore politics in an election year is doesn’t want progress. Please keep that in mind…

I just don’t think you need to be bombarded with political crap in every community. You can care about politics and not want to see it in every other post.

If you want to block all politics from lemmy, this is a list of all the URLs you need to block

Rules:

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
