Politics are becoming more and more of the center of a lot of issues, of course it’s going to be everywhere. Just like if a comet is about to hit earth and you complain about all communities talking about it, even if unrelated.
Your stance is looking a lot like enlightened centrism at this point, and that’s definitely not a good thing.
I’m well aware politics are more prevalent than ever, but does that mean they have to be everywhere?
If a comet was about to hit earth, would you look at it non-stop or would you sleep from time to time to rest from the issue at hand?
And I’m not even touching about the fact that it’s US politics that are getting posted everywhere. A large size of the Lemmy population are not US citizens, getting flooded with politics from another country isn’t really something people are enthusiastic about.
This right here is most especially tedious to me: all the “politics” discussion really meaning “American political obsessions”. There’s only 350 million or so Americans and yet they act as if their politics are all that matters to the remaining 7.7 billion or so of us.
Oh definitely. !asklemmy@lemmy.world banning US politics discussions is a good sign.
Hopefully over time people will hear about !AskUSA@discuss.online

At least you know it exists, so that’s a positive
