this is why i like to create lists (on social) or bookmark certain communities instead of subscribing or following so it can easily be put aside when i need a mental health day (which, being trans, is more often than not these days :|)

Turns out there are numerous communities with no political content. One could choose to only read those, on any given day.

Block Lemmy world politics and news subs and it will clear your feed.

It is way easier thing to do over expecting a bunch of people doing something together lol

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?

“Missing the point”

From my POV, you’re the one who’s missing the point.

Usually this just means “no politics I disagree with.”

Sure, or you could go outside and play on some days.

Love the idea, but good luck. Federation has some downsides, one of them being it will be literally impossible to get consensus on this from all servers.

Upvoted because this comments section is nuts

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?

I think we should also have an only politics day so we hate it even more. Something like clockwork orange maybe.

This is a joke but it could be interesting.

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?

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.
