what is happening in the US is of course a serious matter and I am happy we have places, communities etc. that keep on spreading awareness about such topics.
This said, like other folks have already mentioned, there are also places where you want to take a gasp of air and just have a nice laugh.
Awareness on these topics is undoubtedly important but done so in the right places.
the comment of the moderator to reason the deletion of the political post is more than reasonable and done wonderfully and it's sad to see the unfortunate response of this user, playing almost victim.
Let us continue to talk about the politics around the world and spread information and awareness BUT done in a way that allows others to also have a moment to take a breath in places where they momentarily don't want to be bombarded with x bad thing happening in y place and how this leads to z
tbh you'll likely find yourself better using anything else that isn't Ubuntu. Debian is cool if you're okay with your desktop environment being a bit behind (as for apps you can use flatpaks for the most up to the date, it also is good if you need most app support as it can install .deb) or arch if you want to learn a bit more about how your little penguin lives inside that metal box of yours! Fedora I am not sure as I think they implement or will implement telemetry.
One last thing is that not all telemetry is bad. if you take a look at KDE's initial prompt for telemetry it is anonymous and is used to simply try and make the DE better
As a user added: Fedora does opt-in telemetry which is the same as Debian's where if you want you can enable it but by default it's disabled
