Geez you’re not kidding. All the recent posts are politics with regular sounding headlines. I’m gonna start downvoting headlines that don’t fit.

Thanks, the current government did some weird stuff that might have been an onion-like piece in another administration, and I have upvoted quite some of those surprising events in the beginning, but most recent posts are just 'something that happened in America that doesn't usually happen in a functional democracy' and I think it has become too much to be honest.

I found that my communities stayed on track better when I made robust rules and offered alternatives where content would be a better fit.

!dullsters@dullsters.net and !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

good on you, minding the community

Funny, and I just noticed in my YouTube feed: "Satire Isn't Dead, It's Ineffective"

I wonder why.

By the nature of this community it will be political. The key is not to use this community as a podium to announce your beliefs from. You can have politics without shouting into the void.

Could we better utilize the down vote system? Maybe make a rule that posts with a certain number of down votes to upvotes ratio will be locked.

It's not even valuable politics posts.
Every other one is an annoying 'look at the stupid thing Trump said, did or wore'.

@kescusay@lemmy.world don't you go giving me a safe place to catch my breath as the US falls apart! (Kidding, if that wasn't apparent.)

Have you tried Kostman’s you know the “The Penis People?”

My removed by a mod post was political and I missed this pinned post. That's on me and I apologize.

The Onion would definitely have thought up a more...imaginative name!

I deleted the post as well. Again, sorry for the slip.
