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.

Another way to look at this: I'd rather allow some junk posts than be strict and without much content. Let Lemmy grow before the communities become very specific and strict.

Instead of forcing a fediverse to ban certain posts, why don't you just block them from your side? Just blacklist certain words.

Unlike previous social media sites that drive on engagement, here we have that option.

Lol, you're doing something wrong. I just scrolled through my feed and saw one image of Trump and one image of Ghouliani. The rest have zero to do with politics unless you count the military guy from another country holding a gun to his head as "political".

If youre referring to c/pics, I cleaned them up earlier today after waking up so you may not have been able to see them. You can view the sidebar by the modlist there will be a "mod log" hyperlink, that will show you what has been removed or locked.

Ever notice that calls to ban politics only ever happen when Republicans look bad?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah. It must have something to do with Democrats having no sense of boundaries.

Everything is political

You can block communities individually.
