When people say to stop being political on here, it’s not necessarily that they don’t think politics is important and should never be discussed, it’s that you should turn “off” once and a while and talk about literally anything else. Even Anne Frank wrote about other stuff in her diary sometimes, and her life was under threat by actual Nazis so I don’t buy the “Everything’s on fire so we should never shut up ever” argument. I’m not even asking you to change your mind, just to change the subject once in a while.
This is why we can't have nice things

I agree with you on this. There’s a time and place for it

Yes but today it is Palestinians, tomorrow it is us.
There is no correct amount to think about or talk about a genocide while it is unfolding, it is relevant to every single one of us in every single moment.
early_riser@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m not saying it’s not important, I’m saying could you please not post about it in a completely unrelated community. I swear Lenny’s motto should be “sir, this is a Wendy’s.”

Surprised to hear that considering how little I hear about Uyghur genocide under the CCP.

This is political
also random flashback:
did anybody play “zombies vs. Humans” in PE class? Where some kids were Humans and the other were zombies and the goal was to “eliminate the human race” as my PE teacher told us. It was like tag, sharks and minnows, dodgeball and red light green light combined to make the most chaotic game of all time. And the rainbow parachute that you got to wave around and the hula hoops and the little rock wall and…oh, memories.i miss elementary school :(
early_riser@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Oh that parachute!
I too miss being a kid. I miss when my biggest worry was whether I’d get to play Nintendo when I got home.
stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 10 months ago
long live the parachute

This post is political

What ever do you mean? Are you trying to say that being able to ignore politics is in and of itself a political stance, since being able to ignore politics is a sign of the privilege you have?
Crazy talk.

if the mods are going to pin this, why not just start a user vote to disallow political memes? !politicalmemes@lemmy.world is already a community
BCOVertigo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
There is a correct amount of doom each person can engage with before it negatively impacts their mental health so much that they will be less effective at doing anything to make the world bette.
I don’t presume to know what that is for you, or anyone else, I just know that if we let Lemmy bucketize things in line with its design then people can opt in and that self determination will do a better job than either of us.
I don’t even think that there should be a rule against politics here, but people posting an article that’s not a shitpost in any sense are getting more upvoted than things that are clearly shitposts because people viewing from their subscribed feed upvote before noticing the com. The pinned post’s ratios are very telling to me that the people clicking the com vs the general public are voting much differently and I have no idea how to fix it.
Maybe we require a minimum bar of editing (ignoring quality of edit obviously) for pictures of certain topics, and block URLs from OPs? Clearly there are some shitposts that are political and fantastic, but ffs it was getting bad enough for this backlash.
