Let’s say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we’d all be in a better mood that day.
Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.
Block Lemmy world politics and news subs and it will clear your feed.
It is way easier thing to do over expecting a bunch of people doing something together lol
Sure, or you could go outside and play on some days.
I think we should also have an only politics day so we hate it even more. Something like clockwork orange maybe.
This is a joke but it could be interesting.
Usually this just means “no politics I disagree with.”
Love the idea, but good luck. Federation has some downsides, one of them being it will be literally impossible to get consensus on this from all servers.
“Missing the point”
From my POV, you’re the one who’s missing the point.
Thank you Anakin.
People who complain about “politics” on this platform really show their whole ass by revealing they’re actually just right-wing nutjobs or Russian trolls. So which are you?
🤡
First we will form a committee that monitors and tracks posts for subject matter that may be political. There will be extensive lists of what is acceptable and what isn’t, topics that will be debated at length every week.
Then, roughly two months into NoPo days, a tampon v pad debate between a childfree estate lawyer and a closeted scentsy sales rep with a breeder fetish will spill over into other instances, inflaming users to pick sides. Both women will become icons on their respective feminine hygiene products until they are both viciously doxed and swatted by opposing communities.
One week after, NoPo days will ban any words related to period protection and thus incite a backlash from lemmy feminists and allied persons.
The committee will be fediversally disbanded only ten weeks into NoPo days and it’s members will be forced to make alt accounts in dishonor.
In your edit where you say that many people take this too seriously, that’s you taking it too seriously. Stop being so sensitive. Don’t have a hissy fit. We’re all just playing around, right?
Upvoted because this comments section is nuts
Fair enough. While you’re at it, add a no anime day and a no Linux day as well. Or are we only removing things you don’t like?
Not op but I’d be down for all three of those actually!
At that point it might be better to just have a designated anime, Linux, and politics day (or two).
OR! Categories that you can block, with mandatory category tags on each community and lying about the category results in perma-ban.
And no memes
Okay Buddy, this is where I draw the lines.
You can take my gun, but you can never take my memes!
And a no snark day!
Wouldn’t you like that
It’s hard not to find this kind of logic and desire to be naive and somewhat childish. I really do think it comes from a desire to go back to a time when you’re a child and you don’t have to worry about things.
Maybe you should start a No Politics campaign. Have some debates over the issue. Raise it with your leaders. Find out the impacts of the new policy. Get all of Lemmy to have a vote on it.
Listen here you little shit!
Or you can just block/ignore the stuff you don’t like. No need to force your preferences on everyone else.
Wait, it’s all politics?
👩🚀🔫🐧
Always has been
You cannot block and filter enough to escape from politics or anime on Lemmy.
I never see anime stuff, and i don’t mind anime so it’s not like I’ve blocked a bunch of places that have it
I have to specifically follow anime stuff to see anime stuff on Lemmy, what are you on?
Just on the Everything feed with a bunch of filters & blocks, and a specific block for the word “anime”. I still end up blocking individual anime communities on a regular basis. That has been happening for over a year now, so there are a lot of them. I’m surprised you never see it. What are you on?
On lemmy? Cmon fam. There’s barely any anime down here
Except that people find a way to insert politics into almost every thread. You’d have to block three quarters of the site and about half the users lol
You know, it’s almost like politics affects everything. Strange thing that.
I don’t want to debate politics everytime myself, but the fact stays that at the end of the day, everything is political
Exactly. That’s the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you’re interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.
Not forcing your beliefs on everyone else? Well that’s certainly unAmerican of you! I’m not voting for the person YOU clearly support!
I’m guessing this site would be a dud on that day, since most of yall have about as much charisma as an old shoe.
