1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Are you tired of political content on lemmy? (crossposting outside of .ml) (lemmy.world)

original post in: https://lemmy.world/post/23364294

You know, i do actually very often concur with these kinds of content, like the ones saying billionaires are leaches on society and governments are often used as a weapon to protect the ruling classes.

But man... when i come to lemmy i kinda want to only see memes, and funny stuff... even communities that are not niches to political content get political way too often. Like gotdammit, when i get to c/comics i just want to see funny drawings, i'm way too tired to want to see your lame class war comic...

Is that a feeling i'm the only one feeling?

edit: i think what makes it worse is that very often they're not even funny, just literal propaganda, "good guy propaganda", maybe, but still propaganda

edit n2: edited title and body slightly to be "open ended" on mod's request

It is really interesting that the original post got removed. Guess people don't complain about .ml without reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What was the reason?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they just deleted it, no reason given as far as i'm concerned, maybe there is something on the modlog or something like that

Removed Post Do you all also get tired of political/leftist/anarchist memes, comics and stuff?

Thank you! Still really lame that they used that rule as an excuse -_-

People routinely get banned from all the communities across the entire instance for saying things that are negative - or not strongly positive enough - about the former communist nations especially Russia or China, or communism etc. You got off easy here merely having just the post removed. So you probably want to find other communities not on Lemmy.ml before this happens to you. As you did here!:-)
