Basically my entire feed is like swiss cheese due to all the articles about Trump and Musk.
Does someone actually enjoy consuming this stuff all day every day? I can’t possibly imagine Lemmy ever becoming popular among the normies if this is what they’d need to deal with.
I’d like to be informed too but at this point it’s essentially a choice between being firehosed by american politics or blocking all of it. I wouldn’t mind if it was just the occasional article when something actually newsworthy happens. Now it’s for a large part just recreational outrage.
“Recreational”. What a heartless dismissal of the swaths of new people being impacted and harmed every day by each new move by these fucks. Just stick to your subscribe feed if their suffering is such an irritant to you and leave the rest of the site to do what it will, yeah?
There are people around me enraged/supportive of it. I want to be able to be a voice of reason, and I can’t do it if I don’t know. I don’t want to be just “generically” informed.
In general I agree it’s pretty shitty that it’s so much, but I care about people, and people care about this shit.
