Yes.

is there a non american/political memes comm?

There are area- and language-specific comms, like !YUROP@feddit.org or !ich_iel@feddit.org. Not that those are completely free of american politics, but it's much less of the content there.

I had two different reactions to your comment simultaneously.

First, yeah the meme is political but you went hard on the American angle. But the image is of israel, it says israel in two places, it's joking about the pope which is not an american thing, and then it mentions the name of a dead american.

Second, I just don't think Lemmy has enough users and enough content to be picky and granular about categorizing all memes into the appropriate community. And that's before we even get into the realities of federation and how there could be multiple active "memes@*" communities.

First yeah sorry, I agree this one is more political than American, I guess I'm asking if I can expect to see more American and political memes in this community in general

I 100% get why you think this, Lemmy is for the most part dead, there's maybe 30 or so 'active' communities and then participation drops off pretty hard and fast, and the few active comms are left wing progressive/Linux/Queer related, not like Hobbies/random things to discuss, there's almost 0 niche comms here

But my biggest problem is that despite the tiny size I feel like we're making it even worse by throwing American political shit in with everything

If you enjoy funny jokes for example and you went to the funny jokes community or whatever and threads were like:


non political funny joke

who is dumb? DONALD TRUMP! LOL

non political funny joke

REPUBLICANS ARE STUPID LOL

DONALD TRUMP SUCKS LOL

non political funny joke

non political funny joke

ISRAEL IS BAD NOT A JOKE

WHY NO AMERICAN HEALTHCARE NOT A JOKE

non political funny joke


and you weren't a left wing progressive American you'd get pretty annoyed, how many people are we fucking off just by having our loudest members of the community hog up the most visible comms?

This place is tiny and yet I've seen loads of people now commenting about how they hate, well let me quote this came up yesterday:

https://piefed.social/c/fedimemes/p/1825718/hurts-every-time

As for the reason for this decision, it’s because Lemmy and the Threadiverse in general didn’t turn out into what I envisioned it would be.

For a hot minute it was honestly great but eventually all that remained was tankies propaganda and depressing news. And probably a few non-political communities that sadly don’t really offset it for me.

Anyway I'll leave it there but nice comment ty

edit: I just realised this place already has a rule for this:

  1. No politics

This is non-politics community. For political memes please go to !politicalmemes@lemmy.world

I’m having trouble registering your grievance as genuine, considering your post history and recent resurgence in posting on a specific ongoing event.

And what made this stand out is that I have your account tagged with shit-stain brown in Voyager, which I reserve for confirmed Zionist shills.

What are you implying here?

  • Epstein was a Jewish leader?
  • Israelis rape children and they voted for a new „Chief Rapist“?
  • Israelis control „the West“ through rich Americans?

No, they're saying:

  • Israel's government is like the US government right now, super shitty, full of pedophiles and corrupt politicians and are willing to go to war to cover it all up again.
  • Trump is a pedo and there is a group of people *all over the world that trump hangs with that are also pedos
  • Netanyahou, at the very least, covers and does business with pedophiles.

it's something the politicians are doing. i get why it's something folk want to lump in as politics, as it's one of those things that feels so large we as individuals don't seem to be able to affect. i want a break from it too. if i could go one day where i can log on the internet, do my favorite things and not see both the orange pedoslug's and epstein's faces it would be a very good and restful day. today is not that day.

It's also worth noting how Isntreal became full of pedophiles. You see, most people don't want to be part of a violent genocidal settler-colonialist state, so to get people there you can't be picky.

Sure, being formed after the most industrialistic genocide to date on your chosen people gives you a head start in having lots of desperate people to get going, but what about after?

Soon the only people who want to join are a bunch of psychos and kiddy diddlers, so you take them in, offer them a bunch of disempowered "other" children to prey on, and gin up antisemitism in other countries where jews with more of a conscience and actual skills are a harder get so you can get your numbers up.

Oh no, both are full of pedophiles. When jewish pedophiles are caught in many countries they flee to Israel, it's a whole thing. No one's sending their best to Israel.
