The future is now old man.
Wow i was wondering when it would track
Yep, I'm old
My back hurts.
That's an incredible throwforward
People decided to fight back against the political posts in the shitpost community I think.
It’s gotten out of control now xD The mods there should just add the rule already! Tis the will of the people.
I tap out for a few days when these weird fixations happen. See you next week.
As do I, and yet here we are.
So where did this come from? I try to ignore these trends but you got me to cave. I'm curious now.
Beans, or something.
They're protesting the political posts in c/lemmyshitpost. I am beyond sick of politics where they don't belong, so I'm enjoying the trend. I hope it continues until politics are officially banned from the comm.
I read the shitposts - pretty much my whole feed except from sciencememes, and never see too much politics, the odd one here or there but nothing annoying. Maybe I have enough user level blocks in place already.
I do see far too much of this of this corn crap recently, so I'm just building up a whole new section of my blocklist. If there isn't any diversity in shit posts soon, i guess i just ditch this community as it'll be more efficient.
I guess i should expect a dirty protest from shitpost - but I'd rather the literal shit posts than one more day of this cornucrapia.
Does ratemypoo.com still exist - maybe I'll just browse that.
I love the corn posts.
Lemmy is developing its own culture.
i mean theyre no lamppost but still pretty great
It's interesting how different our perspectives are. I've seen quite a few political posts in lemmyshitposts, and I'm actually enjoying the corn posts despite the repetitive nature.
My view is This Too Shall Pass, and just scroll on by. I came to this thread just to see what it was about, and I support the cause even if it is annoying.
politics where they don't belong,
🙄
Politics do NOT belong in a shitpost comm. Shitposts are where people go to distract themselves from all the bullshit.
I would agree, but I can't think of anything that isn't political nowadays. Maybe if we count the stuff that shouldn't be political, but like dipshits are everywhere (itsa me)
You can just use keyword filters if you're that fragile 🤷♂️
You can disconnect from the internet too, the question is, will you?
Apart from spamming US news all day long, fighting under posts, you also have to spam US political shitposts ?
Don't you have a life?
Ooh you really got me.
What an idiotic, disingenuous thing to say. Please tell me which words to add to the filters to catch all political posts. It's impossible to do, I've fucking tried.
I did my part by switching it up and sharing a Korn music video.
Petition to rename this community lemmycornposts (I see the logo has already been updated).
