all of the posts are doom scrolling

That’s not what doom scrolling is dummy

For some reason lemmy shitpost suddenly became politics focused

at least if the memes were good. It's just bad man this bad man that or dementia man dementia man that.

All with the blaring self-righteousness of - "I lifted a finger once. Nothing happened overnight. Never again."
Cheered on by those actively participating in concern trolling divide-and-conquer political campaign tactics, both from within the country and from halfway across the world in China and goddamned russia.

I don't care about normal politics what annoys me is the Tankies climbing out of the wood work to tell you about the evil evil "west"

Glad to see I’m not the only one.

It’s kind of unavoidable honestly, and no one should be shocked. Tons of people are finally learning that democracy in the US died years ago. I usually just scroll past or engage in a limited manner. I already have other communities to discuss that stuff and Lemmy is mostly an escape.

Yep, same here. I already have a lot of existential dread about shit I can't do anything about, so why wouldn't I ban them. Hell I have a lot of title words filtered out too

American - sees a shitpost about beans

Butterfly meme

"Is this a post about politics and/or religion?"

Funny enough, from some of the replies I get to my posts, some of them relating to us politics, I can only assume that people either don't notice or don't care about what instance I'm connected to.

It's a fun game.... At least, I'm entertained by it.

this mf out here becoming a mod on every instance so they can ban politics communities
