Let’s say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we’d all be in a better mood that day.
Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.
I’m guessing this site would be a dud on that day, since most of yall have about as much charisma as an old shoe.
Sure, or you could go outside and play on some days.

People who complain about “politics” on this platform really show their whole ass by revealing they’re actually just right-wing nutjobs or Russian trolls. So which are you?
Usually this just means “no politics I disagree with.”
First we will form a committee that monitors and tracks posts for subject matter that may be political. There will be extensive lists of what is acceptable and what isn’t, topics that will be debated at length every week.
Then, roughly two months into NoPo days, a tampon v pad debate between a childfree estate lawyer and a closeted scentsy sales rep with a breeder fetish will spill over into other instances, inflaming users to pick sides. Both women will become icons on their respective feminine hygiene products until they are both viciously doxed and swatted by opposing communities.
One week after, NoPo days will ban any words related to period protection and thus incite a backlash from lemmy feminists and allied persons.
The committee will be fediversally disbanded only ten weeks into NoPo days and it’s members will be forced to make alt accounts in dishonor.
Fair enough. While you’re at it, add a no anime day and a no Linux day as well. Or are we only removing things you don’t like?
Not op but I’d be down for all three of those actually!
At that point it might be better to just have a designated anime, Linux, and politics day (or two).
OR! Categories that you can block, with mandatory category tags on each community and lying about the category results in perma-ban.
And no memes
And a no snark day!
Wouldn’t you like that
It’s hard not to find this kind of logic and desire to be naive and somewhat childish. I really do think it comes from a desire to go back to a time when you’re a child and you don’t have to worry about things.
Maybe you should start a No Politics campaign. Have some debates over the issue. Raise it with your leaders. Find out the impacts of the new policy. Get all of Lemmy to have a vote on it.
Listen here you little shit!
Or you can just block/ignore the stuff you don’t like. No need to force your preferences on everyone else.
Wait, it’s all politics?
👩🚀🔫🐧
Always has been
You cannot block and filter enough to escape from politics or anime on Lemmy.
I never see anime stuff, and i don’t mind anime so it’s not like I’ve blocked a bunch of places that have it
I have to specifically follow anime stuff to see anime stuff on Lemmy, what are you on?
Just on the Everything feed with a bunch of filters & blocks, and a specific block for the word “anime”. I still end up blocking individual anime communities on a regular basis. That has been happening for over a year now, so there are a lot of them. I’m surprised you never see it. What are you on?
On lemmy? Cmon fam. There’s barely any anime down here
Except that people find a way to insert politics into almost every thread. You’d have to block three quarters of the site and about half the users lol
You know, it’s almost like politics affects everything. Strange thing that.
I don’t want to debate politics everytime myself, but the fact stays that at the end of the day, everything is political
Not forcing your beliefs on everyone else? Well that’s certainly unAmerican of you! I’m not voting for the person YOU clearly support!
Exactly. That’s the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you’re interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.
I’d love to see more users / activity in the non-political niche and hobby communities. That’s my holiday wish.
Feel free to have a look at !newcommunities@lemmy.world and its hobby threads
Are we making wishes for Halloween now?
The 3d printing community is awesome and very active. Thanks ro them I fix my shitty printer. They help me so much every time I do something dumb and fuck my printer up.
Yes, I have noticed a lot of activity in that community! I do some resin printing myself. Most folks in there appear to be using filament, but I’m grateful they are so active.
It’s not too surprising that some dedicated DIY 3d printing “maker” type people gravitate towards the fediverse.
I use both. Love the resin one, Hate the fdm with all my heart
Holiday wish??? Dude. It’s October! This is spooky season, then it’s turkey season THEN holiday season!
My rule of thumb is that anyone who puts up christmas decorations before Black Friday is a massive asshole, who sucks dick…but not very well. They use a lot of teeth in their blowjobs, because they have no sense of how things are supposed to be. They do things nobody wants.
That’s why you gotta wait until black friday. For now, it’s all about black cats, and murder. Blood is a decoration! Also, pumpkin spice…for some reason…
LOOK! I DON’T MAKE THE RULES!
You should definitely tell Costco, who had Christmas decorations out in fucking JULY!
Ok…I know Everette True is just a comic, but I’m REALLY channeling his spirit hearing that…
Except they always become political as this is Lemmy
This is already possible, on any day of the week you desire, without affecting anybody else’s preferences. I assume you’ve subscribed to certain communities that you enjoy. If so, you simply switch your view to the Subscribed feeds. You can switch back anytime you want to All. As a bonus, you could even limit yourself to viewing only the communities on your instance by using Local.
I know that comes off a little snarky, but I don’t know what you do or don’t know, so I’m going with the assumption you don’t know. Otherwise, as others have suggested, you can block communities and instances, and also add keywords to filter out specific topics.
Edit: looks like it’s a feature request for the webui. I know Mlem has a keyword filter.
The issue is not politics posting. It’s politics posting in non-political subs. Like people posting about trump on this community and calling it a shower thought
I’d say the real issue then is that the mods should consider amending the rules to explicitly disallow political posts.
I concur
On an individual community this could work, sure, but on the whole website you would effectively be closing certain communities entirely.
Yes!
The problems is what constitutes as politics is very different to different people. Is a gay man posting about his relationship with his husband political?
Why would it be?
Well that’s the fucking question now ain’t it.
Nobody was asking that question prior
Based on OPs willingness to admit that other people fighting for their very basic human rights as annoying, I’ll answer for them and say yes.
This. So many people’s lives are inherently political and opting out is a privilege.
