    They’re protesting the political posts in c/lemmyshitpost. I am beyond sick of politics where they don’t belong, so I’m enjoying the trend. I hope it continues until politics are officially banned from the comm.

      I read the shitposts - pretty much my whole feed except from sciencememes, and never see too much politics, the odd one here or there but nothing annoying. Maybe I have enough user level blocks in place already.

      I do see far too much of this of this corn crap recently, so I’m just building up a whole new section of my blocklist. If there isn’t any diversity in shit posts soon, i guess i just ditch this community as it’ll be more efficient.

      I guess i should expect a dirty protest from shitpost - but I’d rather the literal shit posts than one more day of this cornucrapia.

      Does ratemypoo.com still exist - maybe I’ll just browse that.

        It’s interesting how different our perspectives are. I’ve seen quite a few political posts in lemmyshitposts, and I’m actually enjoying the corn posts despite the repetitive nature.

        My view is This Too Shall Pass, and just scroll on by. I came to this thread just to see what it was about, and I support the cause even if it is annoying.

        Politics do NOT belong in a shitpost comm. Shitposts are where people go to distract themselves from all the bullshit.

            You can disconnect from the internet too, the question is, will you?
            Apart from spamming US news all day long, fighting under posts, you also have to spam US political shitposts ?
            Don’t you have a life?

            What an idiotic, disingenuous thing to say. Please tell me which words to add to the filters to catch all political posts. It’s impossible to do, I’ve fucking tried.

                You have no suggestions for filter words, you were just spewing out shitty father energy and telling me to deal with it. Jerk.

                Motherfuckers who post political shit in these comms don’t put ANY relevant words into the title or body if their post, the relevant words are in the image themselves so the filters don’t catch them. Deal with it? I deal with this every fucking day, I come to shitpost comms to think about something ELSE for a fucking change.

                    I’m referring to the “tough love” approach that emotionally distant fathers employ. Saying “deal with it” implies that I am the problem and the world is fine, which if coming from a father to their kid can absolutely destroy their self esteem.

          I would agree, but I can’t think of anything that isn’t political nowadays. Maybe if we count the stuff that shouldn’t be political, but like dipshits are everywhere (itsa me)
