Its obvious to me, the community was fine with it. Yes there was one annoyed dude demanding censorship.

Also, if I annoyed you by bringing up the death of my brother, good. Good.

    People need to accept that other people want some places that are not full of american politics. We are getting bombarded with it everywhere and it is totally fine when the mods of /c/cuteanimalpictures just want to provide a community for cute animal pictures and are deleting your american politics stuff.

      Rule 3… more important than Alex Prettis life.

      Because it annoys non-usa people.

      Or how about alex pretti being murdered by a fascist government. Thats just politics.

      The constant harassment. The selective moding. The importance of a barely enforced rule to supersede human decency.

      Id expect this shit on reddit. Lemmy is a lost cause.

            You’re not going to bring about a revolution over it or whatever by shouting into the social media void, let alone communities that have no politics rule in place…

            Especially on lemmy, that’s 1/100th size of reddit (though agitation there is equally as futile)

              Thanks for the encouragement. You will probably fail at what ever it is youre trying to do too.

    The one annoyed person had 10 upvotes of users agreeing with them, and for those 10 people the community rules are very explicit.

    Mods here at lemmy and any other platform are unpaid volunteers who donate their time. Sometimes communities have stupid rules but you can’t be mad going to a place, clearly breaking the rules, and then having the post removed. Well you could be mad but it’s an entirely self manufactured problem. And if you want a politics-OK showerthought community then you could try discussing the rule in the existing community, check other showerthought communities, or create your own community.

    But this is why i try to read community rules before posting. Like this community i had never heard of before so checked the sidebar before commenting. Helps head off problems.

    Eh make your own community or hell even whole instance with like blackjack and politics then? These guys had established rules for theirs specifically forbidding politics.

    You’re walking into a Wendy’s and outraged they’re not serving funnel cakes.

    They’re saying in actually a very nice way “Sir, we like funnel cakes too but this is a Wendy’s and we don’t serve funnel cake here”

    I don’t get where the indignation is coming from.

      Here’s an actual on-topic showerthought:
      “Blackjack and hookers” and “Blackjack and politics” are more or less synonymous considering how politicians are often for hire/rent/sale.

        Yeah, but you’re indignant towards the wrong crowd here. If your boss fucks you over beating your wife isn’t the solution.

          The crowd that sees someone murdered in the streets and keeps on walking is exactly the right group to feel indignation toward.

        I mean yes, of course, that is the rational response to a state sponsored murder. What you are feeling is just and right.

        But showerthoughts is not the right place to express it just like posting something like this in a community like !aww@lemmy.world just to reach their large audience is not appropriate.

        The mods here are agreeing with your views. They just said their community is not the right place for the content you posted. That’s all.

        Why are your angry about that?

    I’m gonna keep saying this to my “fellow” europeans: whatever is going on in the USA is gonna happen to us next. They’re pushing the far-right parties all over, they have our economy in a stranglehold, there is no escape from US politics. You can shut your eyes and your ears all you want, we are part of NATO, we are the vassals of the empire, when the ship sinks we either get a lifeboat or go down with it and our elite seems to be hell bent on going down with it.

    “I’m tired of yankee politics”

    Tough shit, guess how tired of “yankee politics” the iraqis are. The afghanis are. The palestinians, the venezuelans, the colombians, the entire fucking world. You haven’t seen anything yet. The american soft power is waning and they are gonna need somepeoples blood to maintain their order. If the rest of the world manages to throw of their yoke, guess who’s left.

    This goes doubly so for germans, Merz is already importing Palantir, but I’m banned from feddit_org and it most likely would fall on deaf ears regardless.
