It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day.

Let's say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we'd all be in a better mood that day.
Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.
No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.
No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.
No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.
If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?
No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.
If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.
And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...
You're viewing a single thread.
Or you can just block/ignore the stuff you don't like. No need to force your preferences on everyone else.
You cannot block and filter enough to escape from politics or anime on Lemmy.
I have to specifically follow anime stuff to see anime stuff on Lemmy, what are you on?
Just on the Everything feed with a bunch of filters & blocks, and a specific block for the word “anime”. I still end up blocking individual anime communities on a regular basis. That has been happening for over a year now, so there are a lot of them. I’m surprised you never see it. What are you on?
Subscribing to communities and browsing Subscribed by default, so that would explain something.
Ah, my subscribed communities get like one new post per month. So, I'd just not be on Lemmy if I was limited to my subscriptions.
Could we perhaps swap accounts? On my feed there's NEVER anime related stuff, and as a fan of them this kinda sucks
Yes please!
On lemmy? Cmon fam. There's barely any anime down here
I never see anime stuff, and i don't mind anime so it's not like I've blocked a bunch of places that have it
Hmmm everything is political?
No. Everything is anime.
Except that people find a way to insert politics into almost every thread. You'd have to block three quarters of the site and about half the users lol
You know, it's almost like politics affects everything. Strange thing that.
I don't want to debate politics everytime myself, but the fact stays that at the end of the day, everything is political
Wait, it's all politics?
👩🚀🔫🐧
Always has been
Exactly. That's the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you're interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.
Not forcing your beliefs on everyone else? Well that's certainly unAmerican of you! I'm not voting for the person YOU clearly support!
