And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don’t understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

And somehow reminding everyone on this echo chamber again even in non-political communities is going to reach those not here to see it? Just put it in the damn communities it belongs in problem solved, everyone here will see it but I can also go look at cool owls and shit for a second in peace, win win.
“Just put everything in that box in the cellar where it belongs” is not how discourse works. If you start filtering out specific ideas then you create the exact kind of algorithm driven dystopia you see on TikTok, only you do it manually. It is a direct way to silence legitimate thoughts and opinions to appease some small subset of angsty teenagers who want everything to be fucking slop enema without any critical thought attached ever. It’s sad to see on here, this was supposed to be an alternative to that dumb shit on reddit, yet here people are trying to turn it into the same.
I could just as easily say “go watch that shit on Discord if you don’t like it”, because that’s basically what your argument amounts to.
It isn’t “the box in the cellar” if it’s just on another comm on all, ffs.
If you fuckers wouldn’t evangelise so hard that it becomes inescapable when someone just wants to look at a cute doggy for a short break, people wouldn’t have to use keyword censors to stop seeing all your content, meaning they’d still see some. You’re incentivising the exact cellar scenario you speak against, good job.
Let people have interests other than yours, you selfish prick, just because I don’t want to see politics in a non political community doesn’t mean I never engage with politics. Maybe if you can’t follow the agreed upon rules of a community and have to bully your way into it, you aren’t as left as you seem to think. I hope you get the help you need.
Somehow putting uncomfortable conversations into tiny boxes everyone avoids doesn’t feel like the way to stop the rise of the far right.
Enjoy the sand around your head, though.
“Tiny boxes” as in “the appropriate space where political discussion is welcome” is bad but “fuck you and your community rules what I say goes and you must see political shit in a dog community or whatever because you cannot breathe for ten fucking minutes” is good.
Enjoy contributing to burnout and forcing people to use wordlist blockers to censor all of the content instead of them seeing some, hurting your own cause can be good if it makes you feel morally superior to everyone else, though.
You’re constructed an excellent false dichotomy there, haven’t you?
No u, you’re the one who, on a conversation about not putting political things in rules-specified apolitical communities, decided to equate “talking about it in the appropriate place” to “echo chamber blah blah blah there must be no brief respite from my political posts even on communities that are specifically for other things despite there being mostly fucking political communities here.” As if posting on lemmy comms that are unrelated actually does fuck all for anyone in an actual echo chamber that might need to hear it. Go tell Rumble ffs, or goddamn threads/bluesky even, lemmy is already the echo chamber that knows all the other posts on lemmy it isn’t that big dude.
Your comment was a pain to read. Am I understanding correctly that you’re mostly repeating yourself and ignoring my point about your false dichotomy?
Nobody here is saying we need to invade /c/cutepicsofpuppies with Donald Trump is Bad posts. You’re saying “Get Politics off my Lemmy.” I’m saying somewhere in the middle is best.
Again you accuse me of what you yourself are doing. This is a post about not putting political things in communities that have a rule “no politics.” It’s absolutely about invading c/cutepicsofpuppies with Trump is bad posts, and instead putting it in one of the many political lemmy communities where that shit actually belongs. You inventing this “no politics on lemmy at all” strawman is all you. What sidebar do you think the rule is in if not lemmy’s ffs.
So to catch you up to speed, ignoring the rules in a lemmy comm’s sidebar and posting politics where it says “no politics” does absolutely fuck all to deal with the “echo chambers” of which you speak. C/cutedogpics is not an echo chamber and therefore posting Trump bad there is simply breaking community rules to annoy people here already. If you actually want to affect those in the echo chambers of which you speak, then yes, you have to go there. Those people aren’t on TrumpSocial, Rumble, Twitter, and Threads and also only c/cutedogpics on lemmy, they’re not here at all.
You’re the one with the false equivalencies, saying that “don’t post politics to lemmy comms that say no politics” equates to an echo chamber, then you say “if you want to affect those actually in an echo chamber you have to go to that echo chamber” is me saying “get politics off lemmy entirely.” It’s honestly laughable, I can’t tell if you’re sincerely misunderstanding the concept that hard or if you’re maliciously misunderstanding it, but either way it’s pathetic.
