The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

Since when are politics supposed to be shoved down my throat at every corner and has to consume my entire (online) life?
No matter where I go, star trek thread, meme thread, entertainment thread etc. People are more concerned about this stuff than anything else. And TBH, I’m kinda tired of it too.
That’s exactly what happens nowadays on the internet. Radicals and extremists everywhere, who wants everybody canceled to no end just because XYZ.
So he has a valid point.
This is a beehaw thread on the beehaw instance discussing a meta topic. We’re a community with a specific set of standards unlike other instances. It’s irrelevant to you, so I’m not sure why you’re interacting with it. No one is shoving anything down your throat; you’re choosing to come in here and stomp your feet around for no reason. If you want to ever be taken seriously I suggest you stop saying “shoving X down my throat” because at this point it’s a meme.
I remember the before times, when nobody mentioned political issues and talking about it openly was considered taboo. The people that did were considered crackpots. Then the 2012 election happened and the Mayan profecy became reality. Now everyone has a political science degree apparently.
I feel sorry for kids that have to grow up constantly hearing political arguments. In olden times we would get a big political issue every once in awhile. Whitewater and the Clinton impeachment trial for example. Still, nobody really took that stuff seriously, and it was rarely the topic of conversation except for a passing joke here or there.
It was a simpler time, that’s for sure.
Yep which is why I’m happy I don’t have to deal with political extremist communities like The_Donald that attracts people who troll with bigoted awful bullshit in every thread possible no matter the community.
