I like news but American news is trash. I block all communities that are dedicated to US News but I'd love it if people wouldn't post US news to "world"
You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It's world news. And yeah there's a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there's plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that's lacking?
Yeah, but this also has the downsides of being on Lemmy.ml
For al those who don't know: Lemmy.ml mods are tankies. They are known for deleting stuff that doesn't fit their ideology and doing the regular tankie stuff. It isn't as bad as lemmygrad or hexbear, but they are still tankies. This is also the reason I try to avoid community's hosted on Lemmy.ml.
Ok what's your suggestion? Rate limit American signups so you can have your adorable little euro echo chamber where you can sip espresso without having to be reminded about your young upstart overseas cousin that is doing so much better than you at nearly everything?
That's everyone? There is no land that is not stained with the blood of a culture conquered for a better equipped, more organized culture. Not a single inch.
I think this is exactly what I'd like to change about Lemmy's culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.
The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself "I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion" The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.
