What about the obsessive hatred of cars and Windows?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 11 months ago

THAT I actually enjoy

[–] [email protected] 40 points 11 months ago (11 children)

Not entirely correct.

It's obsessive hatred of car dependency. It's not that surprisingly many of us hate cars, it's that surprisingly many of us hate that you necessarily need a car to do anything outside of the house.

Its not neccesarily obsessive, its just those happened to be communiies commoted tonleaving the other site, ao it visually appears to be the mainstream thought.

Linux is one of the larger communties who made the jump (in general tech people are more prone to caring about privacy and control, as tech communities in general are some of the largest here on lemmy)

Heck one of the largest communities is piracy discussion.

linux users are of course the first to move to something like this, and the /r/fuckcars community is as well now a bit. also let's be honest, fuck cars. and fuck windows.

I'm fine with USA politics, because they got their hands up in everyone's asses so it affects everyone.

What bothers me more is American football. Nobody except them even plays this game but it's all over the news every time there's a major event. Same for baseball.

You're seeing NFL on lemmy? I don't see it at all and wish I did. Where can I find it

I can't wait for Lemmy to get big enough that I can unsub from all the big Lemmies. On Reddit I had a bunch of niche communities that were pretty nice and not political. Now all those spammers I avoided have come here too and the Lemmies aren't big enough to avoid them yet.

The annoying thing is these people never see themselves as the insufferable bores always taking about local politics.

It's always really important.

It's always that you're a nazi if you don't agree.

It's just modern born-again Christians, who aren't knocking on your door, they're posting in your social Media.

Over the past few years I've become a blocking fiend. Transphobia? Blocked. Misogyny? Blocked. Vaccine conspiracy? Believe or not, blocked. It's great, I don't have to deal with terrible people and they don't have to deal with me.

I also have the orange guy and the X guy's names filtered out because I'm done seeing them everywhere.

If you want American politics off of your dashboard you would probably get a lot of mileage just from filtering out "Biden", "Trump", and "Desantis". Florida/Texas/California could be good too but you'll block non-political stories.

Americans are really annoying. They ruin the internet with their ability to turn ANYTHING and EVERYTHING into American politics. Even if it's about a cat on the opposite side of the world.

My favourite is posting a comment and having someone say "you voted for Biden, didn't you?". Nah, bro, I stepped foot in your country once and was mugged at gun point. I will never be back, let alone a fucking citizen of that shit hole.
