Yes but today it is Palestinians, tomorrow it is us.
There is no correct amount to think about or talk about a genocide while it is unfolding, it is relevant to every single one of us in every single moment.
But mooom!!! I wanna post news about the Gaza genocide in the cute pictures of cats community!! Why does the evil early_riser not let me do it and wants to constrain me to topic relevant communities???
did anybody play "zombies vs. Humans" in PE class? Where some kids were Humans and the other were zombies and the goal was to "eliminate the human race" as my PE teacher told us. It was like tag, sharks and minnows, dodgeball and red light green light combined to make the most chaotic game of all time. And the rainbow parachute that you got to wave around and the hula hoops and the little rock wall and...oh, memories.i miss elementary school :(
What ever do you mean? Are you trying to say that being able to ignore politics is in and of itself a political stance, since being able to ignore politics is a sign of the privilege you have?
There is a correct amount of doom each person can engage with before it negatively impacts their mental health so much that they will be less effective at doing anything to make the world better.
I don't presume to know what that is for you, or anyone else, I just know that if we let Lemmy bucketize things in line with its design then people can opt in and that self determination will do a better job than either of us.
I don't even think that there should be a rule against politics here, but people posting an article that's not a shitpost in any sense are getting more upvoted than things that are clearly shitposts because people viewing from their subscribed feed upvote before noticing the com. The pinned post's ratios are very telling to me that the people clicking the com vs the general public are voting much differently and I have no idea how to fix it.
Maybe we require a minimum bar of editing (ignoring quality of edit obviously) for pictures of certain topics, and block URLs from OPs? Clearly there are some shitposts that are political and fantastic, but ffs it was getting bad enough for this backlash.
