i get finding US politics in your feed annoying. just don’t react with harrasment and name calling and we are gucci. 👍
edit 2: no this is not inspired by recent events and if u feel the need to attack me in the comments below u are part of the problem 🤨 im literally just sharing le funny image and asking for a lil more kindness online stop it stop it stop it
that’s a fair position to have as well.
I like and appreciate your style. thank you!
Do you have any idea how many news articles we have to read about your insane election system that has campaigning for 3/4 years instead of normal countries that campaign for 2 months? Like the entire campaign seasons of Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, and Spain, take up combined less time every 4 years than the US’s primaries do.
i’m so sorry you have to deal with that. im simply asking not to he harrased and trolled in response to that situation.
Fair, harassment / trolling in a harassing way is never an ok response, but people are allowed to be critical of too much American content overwhelming a community. Americans may think everything that happens in those 3 campaigning years matter but the rest of the world doesn’t necessarily.
You can block the communities/instances that such content is posted to often, or you can try a content filter to filter out posts you don’t want to see.
Being annoyed at US-centric posts on a US-based social media website is a little silly, I think. I do get it, though
Lol once again an American assumes that things are Amerocentric, thank you for proving my point.
I’m from Europe but yea
The Fediverse is far from US-centric though. Maybe your instance is, but most people will come from different instances as long as you are federated, and Lemmy itself is an EU project.
If anything, this is an EU-based social media website, Reddit was the US-based one.
I stand corrected. I was under the impression that Lemmy is US-based as well.
I’m not sure about lemmy.zip, to be honest. I think the instance admin is from the UK, not sure about the users, though.
IDK where dessalines and nutomic are from, they get their funding from a Dutch EU initiative targeting FOSS internet initiatives. The EU sponsors all kinds of stuff like this, I’ve seen funding for a FOSS AI stack built on RISC-V hardware. It would be pretty cool if all these initiatives would catch on and bear fruit.
thank u! and i will never deny anyone the opportunity to be critical of US content 💪🤪 (i edited the post a little bit to hopefully reflect my sentiment a bit better)
Fair fucks to you, but I don’t think the following-with-a-trumpet meme is the right medium for that kind of nuanced message.
really valid, thanks
I think it just depends, for example its good to get attention to things like the abortion situation in the US, or the recent semi legalization of cannabis in Germany. These are things that either directly or indirectly affect lots of people outside of the respective country.
But yeah, its just impossible to “objectively” decide what is important / relevant to many people and whats not.
i mean, politics in the united states are most of the time a beautifully intricate deadly trainwreck…
anyhow, sub-communities should be the answer, if you had to live in the country to grock it, then you better post it in there instead of on the broadest possible channel… not implying that op did use the broadest channel possible or by choice, im just walking by and seeing all this from a-far, i surely do hope you all finally get out of there though… good luck with that from the depth of my heart. but yeah probably just in the community-of-choice, the place-to-be, most people know where and what the us is, so why not? …
i mean, i dont mind it, but i wouldnt mind moving it into the intricate deadly or trainwreck communities either, your choice really. :P
again, i hope a miracle happens and karl marx himself reassembles himself, one last time to punch all fascists in the face… or something, idk, i havent got a clue and i dont really care how the us gets out of its messes but good luck. and sure it might affect me eventually, but what am i gonna do about it except tell you mundane things like: how about you accept more than one party into the government like germany for example?
perhaps in germany everything takes longer, but at least they (refering to the bundesrepublik here) didnt have to start any wars or do any coups… i think, i hope… i am kinda living under a rock, pls be kind but do educate, cuz either would be nuts
