  • And you being awful to someone who needs to disconnect from US politics is helping how exactly? This is all just the same American exceptionalism that’s existed on Lemmy (and Reddit before that) since the Obama era. You could literally just edit “trump” into your post and folks like myself and OC could choose how to regulate their feeds. I already get enough US politics from everywhere else that doesn’t have these keyword blocklist options.





  • This is just American exceptionalism. Let me reframe it, how many of those people would be unaffected by the outcome of Chinese events? Yet there are nowhere near as many posts about what is happening there.

    But most of all, I think OCs complaint is valid. All it would have taken is text added to the post that just said “Trump” and this would have been filtered by their keyword blocklist (and mine), their freedom to disengage remaining intact. OP replied to mock them when they could have made that change. That is what frustrates me.









  • I agree with the sentiment but trump is happening to your country too. America does effect the world even us non Americans.

    I already engage with what is happening in the US enough, but I try and avoid it here on Lemmy. I am mainly responding here in defence of someone who was jumped on for wanting to be able to regulate their intake of US politics.

    Lastly, feel free to post about your country and its issues. I’d personally love to see some shotposting about countries I don’t know much on or don’t pay enough attention to. Win win. Less trump posts per capita, more content on Lemmy, and we all learn

    I am not the most creative when it comes to memes, but I do post about Australian police issues over at !acab@quokk.au
