It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day. (lemm.ee)

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.

No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...

In your edit where you say that many people take this too seriously, that's you taking it too seriously. Stop being so sensitive. Don't have a hissy fit. We're all just playing around, right?

No politics means to not speak to anyone. Anything can be construed as political speech.

Did you have a day in mind? Does it cater to only one country? Is there something to learn from that ?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

Just block em. By blocking a half dozen politics subs and a dozen or so chronically online leftist agendaposters I've really cleared the air. Makes the experience a lot more enjoyable. :)

Upvoted because this comments section is nuts

I feel like the entire comment section just proves the op's point ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I like how everyone here is missing the point entirely. I don't want yet another heated comments section. Why is it to complicated to not have everyone dying on some random hill.

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.

If you don’t like politics, just move to a country where you don’t get to vote. Problem solved.
