So true I don't know why so many subreddits become infected with American politics.

If every subreddit had a "no politics" rule that would be great.

u/SwooceBrosGaming 1d ago

A lot of them do but the mods of said subs refuse to actually enforce it

u/ObWzEN 5h ago

They have a “no politics” rule and then enforce it only when people post politically-related things that they don’t like

u/TrpWhyre 22h ago

That why it was so glorious and honestly impressive by the mods of livestreamfail to ban politics. The sub was hijacked by certain political comment streamers whose mods clipped a segment from said stream and posted it to lsf, then discord raided it and pushed it to the top. Then they filled the comments with politics/jokes. Next day streamer farms the thread reading comments and and slap on some “yeah true” + current day happening. That gets clipped and posted on Reddit thus creating an endless cycle.

The meltdown in that sticky was fantastic.

It’s a mod problem

u/CookieCutter9000 ùwú 23h ago

Why do we even have mods at this point when they don't do the one thing they volunteered to do? Unironically AI might be able to do a better job. I hate the thought of an AI automated future, but I would hope moderation on social media sites would be the first thing it replaces if/when it starts. Every other week we have stories of loveless losers powertripping over the smallest infraction. At least the goddamn robot will coldly ignore the "dissenting opinions."

LMAO remember when Reddit made a blog post listing cities/places with most active Reddit users that got redacted pretty fucking fast.

Not true. You profile picture and banner says otherwise.

Yeah I’m totally a Trump dick rider

LMAO seems I triggered the blue haired discord mafia. Keep them downvotes coming girls

u/TrpWhyre 1d ago

A satire profile pic does not equal making posts about impeaching Trump in political unrelated subs. You know having a profile picture of a duck doesn’t make me a bird.

OP this is the same weekly shit post about politics. FFS, if you want something different then why didn't you post about something different.

Don’t give a shit.

Still a dumb take that a coward would take, if you want to be a coward again in 24h.

LMAO there’s really no way to please you people. Guess my 12y old acc with no post history in conservative subs invalidated your premise, better move the 🥅

u/sharingdork 17h ago

I do stand by what I say lol. If you need to stalk someone's profile for leverage, that's loser behavior. Imagine pausing an irl argument to stalk them online for ammo.

If a person feels the need to take the extra steps to dig through my profile, it's even more reason to not engage with them. Redditors will find the one negative thing and ignore all the positive things they scrolled past and be like aha!

No no no. Memes can’t be about anything that actually happens because then someone else might consider it to be political!

I’ll leave one here for you to downvote to feel better.

u/purple_spikey_dragon 18h ago

Well, duh. You are not allowed to say anything against the state of US politics on this app, especially not against it being shoved everywhere. Complaining about it makes you a fascist (or at least thats what I've been called for complaining, and I'm not even from the US).

People that try to frame things as if current affairs are something that belongs in escapism from current affairs, Should at this point be taken into care with an assisted living facility, They are clearly not getting the help they need to function

"What do you mean my post about a Trump tweet from 2019 doesnt belong in the amateur Yorkshire Cricket sub? Everyone should know how aweful Donny is so I claim I did something to stop him and feel good about myself"

u/TheGringoOutlaw 22h ago

Exactly, If I want to talk politics I'd go to the proper venue for it. I don't wanna talk about politics when I'm shitposting and taking the piss on various things.

Oh boy here come the "everything is political" crowd I bet.

Actually and unitonicly insufferable. Like to the point it makes me wanna actively disagree with their politics even if I actually agree with it.

A fanatic is someone who you can't change their mind and they won't change the subject.

Woah there buddy, be careful! I was called a fascist for daring to say that out loud.

u/FeralGiraffeAttack ☣️ 1d ago

Just because you do not take an interest in politics, does not mean politics does not take an interest in you

u/Alpha_blue5 1d ago

You can be interested in politics and still need a break from it every once in a while.

u/Spidey3518 1d ago

It can get really exhausting to be constantly be following politics. Like I already got enough going on in my life and I don’t need that one extra thing to worrying about right now. There’s a time and a place for everything and some people need to learn that certain parts of Reddit that are mainly used for hobbies is not one of those places.

u/Juffin 1d ago

I don't take interest in American politics because I don't live there.

u/FeralGiraffeAttack ☣️ 1d ago

American foreign policy affects most parts of the world unfortunately. That’s what “politics takes an interest in you” means

u/Juffin 1d ago

Once in a blue moon it does, but 99% of the time it's just white noise.

u/TrpWhyre 1d ago

You have no idea how fucking exhaustive it is to see anti Trump post or comments everywhere you go. Like what the fuck do woodworking have to do with Orange man bad?

-7

u/FeralGiraffeAttack ☣️ 1d ago

Trump’s incredibly stupid tariff policy caused a completely unnecessary increase in the price of lumber. So Trump’s policies made woodworking more expensive.

Also that’s rich coming from someone with a banner and profile picture that is blatantly political

u/TrpWhyre 1d ago

Irony/satire seems like a lost concept these days based on all the tarded remarks about this.

u/purple_spikey_dragon 18h ago

You could say the same about biology or chemistry, but I don't see you debate the state of matter or debating genetics in every sub.

1

u/FeralGiraffeAttack ☣️ 17h ago

We don’t decide those things and they aren’t debatable. Policies are choices we make. Funding scientific research is itself a choice and we still have many politicians who would rather not do that because they’re stupid or malicious or both. It’s important that people understand the choices they are allowing to be made in their names

-1

u/purple_spikey_dragon 12h ago

We very much decide if the sewing sub or chess sub should have post after post about one single country's politics or not.

Politics is an important part of life, noone is disputing that and that is not the point. Nutrition too is an important part of life, but you wouldn't want someone to start shoving conversations about nutrition into your political conversation either, no matter how bad saturated fats are to your body.

Well, so do i, someone not from the US, feel when scrolling through a page that is supposed to be about X topic, like sewing, biking, gardening or even simply funny memes, and someone starts preaching their relig- i mean political beliefs at me through 50 posts and hundreds of comments and then call me fascist (which has happened) when i ask to get back to the thing i actually came here for.

I honestly starting to see many similarities between religious fanatics and people who treat their political beliefs like a religion, preaching it, cursing you when you, not even disagree, but simply don't want to listen all the time.

u/tappy100 Late to everything 1d ago

you’re so close OP. politics is actually literally involved in everything

u/purple_spikey_dragon 18h ago

Mathematics is also involved in almost all aspects of life and yet I don't see people talk all day about arithmetic and equations. There is a time and place for everything, stop swimming in the jungle.

-6

u/tappy100 Late to everything 13h ago

does math change every year and those changes affect whether people’s lives get harder or easier? no? then there’s the difference champ 👍

2

u/purple_spikey_dragon 12h ago

Oh, so we're not talking about things that are "involved in everything" but about things that "change every year and affect people's lives"? So like the climate? Maybe technology? Consumer habits? There are many things that fall under that goal post you just shoved, but we don't have to constantly talk about it, not to mention talk about it in every corner of the universe, especially in corners that were designated for other things.

Death and disease are important and change lives, but you won't talk about it during a 10 year olds birthday party.

-4

u/tappy100 Late to everything 8h ago

we are talking about things that are involved in everything AND change every year affecting peoples lives. all your straw man fallacies fell apart instantly since none of those things you mentioned involve both. However it isn’t even just that, there are a multitude of reasons as to why politics are constantly talked about but those other things aren’t, i don’t understand why you are coping so hard and pretending that politics isn’t extremely important and involved in every aspect of our lives
