Rare dotworld mod W
Community for political discussion: !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world , mods please feel free to post this anywhere if you'd like to avoid the political posts/questions :)
Honestly I don't get the hype about the US presidency, like sure, it was kinda shocking at first how Trump won, but after that I accepted it. I'd rather listen to other issues than the same thing over and over again.
I also find it wierd that many of the fellow Australians around me know more about American politics than Australian politics, likely just because our media covers it to no effing end, sure, do one news story, but not a fucken bajillion.
Idk what the mod team's philosophy is on incorporating member feedback vs shaping it to mod teams vision, but fwiw, here's mine.
I don't want to see every other post being about Trump either. But I also want conversation to happen. The compromise solution seems to be a mega thread; conversations continue without flooding everyone's feed. For however this temp rule is in place, delete offending posts and redirect to the mega thread.
A mega thread on a topic as wide as US elections aftermath is probably too small.
!politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world has several threads about project 2025, do people actually consider moving out, what should be done now by parties and voters, etc
