I’m not from the US and my Lemmy feed has been absolutely FLOODED with US political news for MONTHS. Yesterday’s vote was the bushel that broke the camel’s back, and I definitely understand non-political communities not wanting to be even more flooded with US politics than they already are.

Go complain about your broken country in politics-oriented communities, please, and let us talk about other, less despair-inducing subjects.

Damn I’m so glad that propaganda flow that for some reason was even allowed in most of Lemmy will stop now.

Remember your words when Netanyahu bombs Gaza and people want to ask the community about it.

Just because YOU don’t want to hear about something doesn’t mean en entire community should BAN discussion of it. It’s absolutely bonkers that anyone can rationalize this position.

That’s not US politics. And the rule is temporary; the goal is just to get a breather after a months-long marathon of hearing about nothing else on Lemmy.
