This community is for photography and interesting images. This isn't the place for shitposts about trump overshadowing quality posts. There's already 10 other communities people can go to for that.

And more. Can we ban these low effort political posts and go back to having a decent community? Thanks.

I would argue it's probably interesting for most people, as evidenced by the other comments. Also, you're making a mountain out of a molehill, this is a one time thing that you could have just ignored for a few days

It was interesting the first few times but the entire front page of lemmy is just a giant circlejerk about it right now. Gets old pretty fast seeing nothing but American politics spammed everywhere, at least keep it to the political communities so it's easier to block.

I get it, I feel the same way about Unix threads and Pokemon, but I just scroll on by, and when it gets too annoying to ignore, I put the phone down and pick up a book. It's much less exhausting than trying to police how other people use the internet.

That photo is not even one day old. Have some patience.

But, but, but he has to see something more than once! Don't you understand, his eyelids are ludovicoed open and he's being forcefed social media, and it just keeps showing him - GASP - AMERICAN P-P-POLITICS! Oh, the humanity!
