Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Between November and now, I worked pretty diligently to create a wall around me to avoid these topics. Unfollowing, blocking, filtering.
Once the inauguration happened, I discovered that the concrete I used was faulty and full of holes. The black, fetid water of these lunatics seeped in from all directions.
Tech news, cultural news, arts, all possible other topics that I thought were safe within the walls I built are now covered with sludge.
I so tired of this shit. How did we let this happen?
I've been having this problem since 2016.
No matter how many filters you throw at it, there's always images, videos, and people self-censoring to get around them.
It's infected everyone and everything, like a virus.
Searching for a way out. I'm sure there's somewhere safe out there...
Ironically, for all that I'm sick of hearing about AI AI AI AI AI AI AI everywhere, maybe a really good prompt could plug the few remaining holes..

Yeah, it means something bad is happening. People are talking about it because they don't want to do anything serious about it, which is somewhat good. It would be good to solve this problem with words only.

Of all the shit that comes with trump, this is the worst thing. For the next 4 years I cannot have a single fucking day without trump. It's going to be trump left, trump right, trump before, trump after, there is no escaping it. 4 years of 90% of the news being trump bullshit. kill me now.
Unfortunately, no matter how the rest of the next four years go, I fear we'll be hearing "Trump-era" for the rest of our lives.
When he got elected I added filters to my Lemmy app... Trump, Elon, musk, Tesla.
Half my front page was still full of Tusk.
Honestly, I think that's the top reason he went into politics. Narcissists need everyone to pay attention to them
I think that is partially true
Wether by design (probably) or accident, the cheeto takes all the headlines and there is no space left for the actual crimes they're committing, like making sure the rich get richer by tax cuts, the tarrif thing, etc.
I think a lot of it is just designed to ensure people aren't paying attention to what really matters, a magicians trick if you will

I hate how US centric lemmy.world is. Wish I could block all Americans.
We need a non-US instance for sure.No US IPs allows, no communities that allow US news or news directly related to them. USAmericans are just so friggin loud online and IRL.
My kingdom for some beans!
