Great, I said we need to talk more about Alex....and the collective fediverse said we need to not talk about politics. Real fucking clown shoes this place.
a mod on a single community is not the collective fediverse
More or less referring to this entire thread
yeah nobody told you we don't need to speak about it. But there are other things we want to speak about as well.
You're probably the family member or colleague that never gets invited anywhere. You sound insufferable.
Right, one post about alex was definitely keeping people from speaking.
As insufferable as I am we both know I dont get invited because im entirely uninterested.
Lol, so clearly you're not done with Lemmy.
Also, they're right. Most of the world does not live in the US. Not everything needs to be about you. That kind of exceptionalism is one of the reasons your country is not popular right now.
Oh, Im done. Im done shilling for this platform. Mostly done browsing it. Any good i thought there was, im done. Its only a matter of time before lemmy fades into obscurity.
Good, go. Each one of you that does is one step closer to having a functioning platform that abides by community rules and we can have our political discourse and escape from it too when we want to.
I don't want manicotti right now, I want a burrito, doesn't mean I never eat manicotti or that manicotti is bad, but when I order a burrito and receive manicotti from the Mexican restaurant, yeah, I'm fucking pissed, no shit. They shouldn't even have that shit. Now apply that to lemmy and shut the fuck up.
Nod
Fuck off dunce. Keep US politics out of non-political subs. Tf!? How's this hard to understand?
ONLY PARTY ALIGNED POSTS ALLOWED! Why don't you fuck off and get your memefix on Reddit instead if you're into censorship? We literally created this place to get away from that.
Great, so you didn't understand a single word of what i said. Says something about you dumb Americans trying to politicize every single thing. Suck a dick friend
Hey I'm in here fighting with you on your side, don't lump all Americans in with the Hexbear and Grad users evading defeds (defeds that happened because they couldn't keep political posts where they fucking belong, coincidence? I think not.)
Politics doesn't belong in apolitical communities, American, Brazilian, Lithuanian or goddamn Laotian idgaf.
To some degree American politics dominate because there are just so many of us and shutting up isn't our style, sure, but at least they need to keep that shit out of apolitical escapist spaces. Everyone deserves a break sometimes (and it'd probably do those assholes the most good, tbh).
My bad, I just got agitated by their comment. There are definitely many thoughtful ones among you
