Literally seen more whining about politics than I’ve seen politics.
Well… technically speaking: Isn’t “whining about politics” still “politics”?
If we follow that rabbit hole, OP has contributed to the exact issue they are ranting about.
Same. OP is no 2 for my blocklist of literal children crying about politics.
Do you read the comments too, or just scroll through the feed?
I do. And it doesn’t phase me, just scroll on past, like that homeless man you ignore in the street.
like that homeless man you ignore in the street
Nonpolitically.
No politics here, oh shit now there’s pronouns and I ruined it
There’s already a smuglord here saying that there’s no politics in programming.dev… just their own smug status quo warrior politics they vomited toward Hexbear each and every time I saw them around when federated.
I’ve seen a sudden influx of memes all about this and I don’t know why. It’s suddenly the new trend and I don’t understand it.
Make your own instance with the politics you want.
There is no such thing as non-political spaces, only spaces where everyone has pre-agreed on what politics are acceptable.
There is no such thing as a non-political discussion either! ;) everything is politics in some sense
No, everything is math.
math is racist.
Burn the math!
I am wary of people using an unspecified “politics tho” like this. More than once the “”“PoLiTiCs”“” they meant were LGBTQIA+ people simply existing.
Honestly I never got why LGBT+ is even a political thing. It’s just basic human rights. But probably my opinion will be seen as politics by some.
That was my point. It’s NOT political. The right is just using their existence as a scape goat.
If there are two or more people, there are politics. I agree with the idea that people who decry ‘politics’ often have disgusting ideas and beliefs. Its a malignant form of privilege to pretend to be able to ignore politics. It’s either that or they are just a little dim and don’t feel they can keep up in a conversation.
Almost everything conceivable has a political angle of some sort.
What people that complain about politics generally mean is “politics that they notice that make them uncomfortable.”
“marginalized folks? Grrrrrrrr!”
“Why can’t there be normal people in my treats that don’t have political issues visibly affecting their lives?”
No, they mean you fuckers thinking outright political posts are memes.
I block a lot of folks. It’s nice.
I meant taken over, but can’t change it now on mobile
It’s okay. We get it. But I see you’ve been scarred by those I mentioned in my other comment.
You know they’re still gonna come for you, though…
sniff sniff “Hark! Doth he hear a chance to feel better about thyself?” cracks knuckles
Thanks saltesc :)
Well lemmy has a left lean and it’s currently small enough for it to spill into other communities.
I lean to the left myself. But it’s just nice to have a break every once in a while.
I havent seen anyone talk about politics on programming.dev
Thank you, we’ll get right on it.
That’s right.
But only because “Vim vs Emacs” is a technically a religious holy war.
Nothing but holy wars there.
Not seen this yet, tbh. Politics in fact seem a rather rare topic outside of the US-centric posts?
Preach.

finishes comment: That is a nice picture of a tree. Well done.
“There. Surely no one can possibly start dissecting it, straw manning it, or start arguing.”
An hour later, there’s three monumentally off-track replies raising points and arguing things no one fucking mentioned or ask for.
-
Well ackhually this is a photograph, not a picture… ramble ramble, argument bait
-
Akchually, that’s a shrub because… ramble ramble, argument bait
-
Akchually, you’re wrong. It would’ve been “nice” if… ramble ramble, argument bait
NO ONE…FUCKING…CARES. FUCK OFF.
Actually, you’re displaying an aggressively incurious attitude, which is not the virtue you seem to think it is 😛

if people were to actually downvote politics that would help
I downvote whenever I see them, but it seems like there are more, or a loud few (maybe both), for every one of my downvotes. It’s not just here, it seems like this on /all too. To be more specific, it seems there are more trolls constantly watching and quicker on the keyboard for anything remotely political. It sucks that we need moderation in any capacity to enforce no politics on ‘no politics’ spaces…
