Which are topics covered by 90% of the forums here already. If you browse for memes you should be allowed to see some. instead you get AOC Simps sharing some rally.
Blocking users posting political campaigning on meme forums are now modus operandi.
Try posting that shit on the woodworking forum and see how it flies. The meme forums are poorly moderated.
A picture of a crowd with the headline AOC and Sanders gathered 35000 people this weekend is hardly a meme.
Have you considered I might be European? And I might be somewhat interested in American politics, but I'm also interested in other shit to. If Lemmy wants to succeed it will have to cater to a wider audience than the most politically engaged core.
Blocking a few users have cleansed my front page alot. I hake no issues with people discussing their political worries. Thats imoortant in any free State. What's not important is forcing those discussions into any minor irrelevant topic.
Have you considered... that political memes... should be posted to the communities specifically for political memes? I know, crazy, right?
If someone wants to bury their head in the sand while everything burns, that's their perogative.
Personally, I get more than enough exposure to the ongoing situation through other sources. I don't need my haha funnies to pull double duty, and I'd argue that they're an incredibly poor format to convey useful information for staying properly informed.
I definitely don't need random internet asshole busybodies deciding they know my information needs better than I do.
They might not bury their head in the sand either. They might be engaged in the topics, but at the moment they just want to see what funny references exist in a non political sphere.
