Boo Trump orange etc
A lot of people don’t realise that not talking about something is an option. You can talk about fun things instead.
Or do both, just in appropriate places.
Comm?
reddit has subreddits lemmy has communities
bloody illegal aliens
I get it, they want be to be as outraged as they are, for good reason. Here’s the thing: unlike our friends in the land of burger and cookie dough, I don’t feel the need or necessity to be angry all the fucking time! I want one place, just one place on the internet that’s not shit. Can we have that?
I can’t speak for everyone else but in my own experience it is almost exclusively non Americans making it political at the Americans who are posting.
Almost exactly like this post is doing, in fact.
lol, absolutely not.

The top of all time are from 3+ years ago when Lemmy had the most users, this is a bit sad to see:

Little did they know that users would continue to bleed out
It appears Lemmy has lost 2/3rd’s of the population since 2023 and just the leftwing Americans have decided to stick around to create a left wing echochamber that some people (yourself) don’t even seem to notice? In fact, I find that ridiculous.
Bingo.
Be kind. It’s their only personality trait.
Are we sure they’re american?
Without knowing what posts they’re talking about, probably. I try not to drag US politics with me everywhere I go, but the fact that my country is ten years into the dumbest fascist coup in history and they still might succeed in knocking over our democracy is mentally invasive in a way that’s hard to put into words, and it tends to distort the lens through which one sees the world. Now that I reflect on it, I don’t think a week has gone by in the past decade where I haven’t thought about Trump, MAGA, and the mortal threat they pose to me and my friends. Maybe a few weeks in the beginning of the Biden admin, when I genuinely thought we had dodged the bullet and the Republican party would ditch Trump, but even then I knew the fascist problem hadn’t gone away completely and would be back. Its constant presence tends to make me see things through the lens of US politics even in places where it might be a reach. Combine that with the fact that there are just a lot of Americans with internet access and I get why it gets annoying.
Sorry y’all have to hear about it all the time, if it’s any consolation I too am tired of it and hope we can get our shit together, but it’s a tense time and probably will be for the next while.
