This community is for photography and interesting images. This isn’t the place for shitposts about trump overshadowing quality posts. There’s already 10 other communities people can go to for that.
And more. Can we ban these low effort political posts and go back to having a decent community? Thanks.
Yes please. It’s getting increasingly difficult to block US Politics from Lemmy. Unitedstatesians are so obsessed with it. I don’t want to be force to see it ALL OF THE TIME EVERYWHERE!
If you have Sync or Connect you can block posts with political keywords:
I don’t have anything against you American homies, it’s just the constant news coverage I’m trying to block
USA guy here. I don’t give two fucks about politics at all. I block everyone that posts about it.
As a Unitedstatesian myself, while I like to keep informed of important events, even I like to get a break from the constant stream of the same news or meme or whatever being shared a dozen times, or in the case of today’s mugshot, 70+ times.
The word you want is “Americans”.
I also would like political stuff kept out of non-political communities.
I can’t speak to their usage, but mine was a reference to this song.
if U.S. is America, than why is it U.S. of America?
Canadians too are americans, like Mexicans are americans
imagine if Germans thought that European meant German 🤷
It doesn’t matter what makes sense to you. “American” is the correct term.
Do you also say “Unitedkingdomers” since the “British Isles” includes the Republic of Ireland?
no, you just say Irish, they’re lucky like that.
when precision is needed, we also have English, Scottish, Welsh &c.
Mexicans and Canadians too are Americans. So i will just call you Bob from now on.
Hello Bob, how’s your day?
American is the correct term. Nothing you say will change that.
i say abracadabra!
now you’re just bob
Political campaign funded bots/PR firms are the reason you see it saturate social media so badly. It’s not entirely because we’re obsessed with it, most people I know try to just live our lives and go vote when it’s actually election day and that’s about it.
That is to say, it is very annoying to most of us, too, and I support the motion to ban political images/shitposts on the pics community.
