Let’s say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we’d all be in a better mood that day.
Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.
Did you have a day in mind? Does it cater to only one country? Is there something to learn from that ?
“Everything is political.”
Missing the point.
What is the point?
The irony is that this post itself is political.
my struggle with stuff like this is that, because i am lgbt, my existence is considered “political”.
I love the idea
Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously
People should take it seriously when anyone suggests curtailing their political speech. In this case it’s to create a little feel-good bubble for yourself, which is hardly a worthy justification. So yeah.
Touch grass
Yes! We should elect officials from each community. Then have them get votes from their community and then we can get all the community heads together and decide what day it is. As long as it’s not at the start or end of the week. I think people who want that have bad genes and should get deported back to Reddit, and make Reddit pay for it.
Sure, or you could go outside and play on some days.
Block Lemmy world politics and news subs and it will clear your feed.
It is way easier thing to do over expecting a bunch of people doing something together lol
“Missing the point”
From my POV, you’re the one who’s missing the point.
Thank you Anakin.
I just block the communities and users. Can’t rawdog lemmy.
Maybe you should start a No Politics campaign. Have some debates over the issue. Raise it with your leaders. Find out the impacts of the new policy. Get all of Lemmy to have a vote on it.
Listen here you little shit!
Fair enough. While you’re at it, add a no anime day and a no Linux day as well. Or are we only removing things you don’t like?
Not op but I’d be down for all three of those actually!
At that point it might be better to just have a designated anime, Linux, and politics day (or two).
OR! Categories that you can block, with mandatory category tags on each community and lying about the category results in perma-ban.
And no memes
Okay Buddy, this is where I draw the lines.
You can take my gun, but you can never take my memes!
And a no snark day!
Wouldn’t you like that
It’s hard not to find this kind of logic and desire to be naive and somewhat childish. I really do think it comes from a desire to go back to a time when you’re a child and you don’t have to worry about things.
It’s privilege.
When people don’t want to talk politics it’s because they have the luxury of not being affected every moment of their lives about said politics.
I.e. easy to switch off the ‘trans people should die’ rhetoric when you’re a cis gendered middle aged white man in a western country.
Or you can just block/ignore the stuff you don’t like. No need to force your preferences on everyone else.
Wait, it’s all politics?
👩🚀🔫🐧
Always has been
You cannot block and filter enough to escape from politics or anime on Lemmy.
Hmmm everything is political?
No. Everything is anime.
I have to specifically follow anime stuff to see anime stuff on Lemmy, what are you on?
Just on the Everything feed with a bunch of filters & blocks, and a specific block for the word “anime”. I still end up blocking individual anime communities on a regular basis. That has been happening for over a year now, so there are a lot of them. I’m surprised you never see it. What are you on?
Could we perhaps swap accounts? On my feed there’s NEVER anime related stuff, and as a fan of them this kinda sucks
Yes please!
Subscribing to communities and browsing Subscribed by default, so that would explain something.
Ah, my subscribed communities get like one new post per month. So, I’d just not be on Lemmy if I was limited to my subscriptions.
On lemmy? Cmon fam. There’s barely any anime down here
I never see anime stuff, and i don’t mind anime so it’s not like I’ve blocked a bunch of places that have it
Except that people find a way to insert politics into almost every thread. You’d have to block three quarters of the site and about half the users lol
You know, it’s almost like politics affects everything. Strange thing that.
I don’t want to debate politics everytime myself, but the fact stays that at the end of the day, everything is political
Exactly. That’s the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you’re interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.
Not forcing your beliefs on everyone else? Well that’s certainly unAmerican of you! I’m not voting for the person YOU clearly support!
