this is why i like to create lists (on social) or bookmark certain communities instead of subscribing or following so it can easily be put aside when i need a mental health day (which, being trans, is more often than not these days :|)

Turns out there are numerous communities with no political content. One could choose to only read those, on any given day.

Love the idea, but good luck. Federation has some downsides, one of them being it will be literally impossible to get consensus on this from all servers.

Block Lemmy world politics and news subs and it will clear your feed.

It is way easier thing to do over expecting a bunch of people doing something together lol

In your edit where you say that many people take this too seriously, that's you taking it too seriously. Stop being so sensitive. Don't have a hissy fit. We're all just playing around, right?

I think we should also have an only politics day so we hate it even more. Something like clockwork orange maybe.

This is a joke but it could be interesting.

Upvoted because this comments section is nuts

"Missing the point"

From my POV, you're the one who's missing the point.

People who complain about “politics” on this platform really show their whole ass by revealing they’re actually just right-wing nutjobs or Russian trolls. So which are you?

I'm guessing this site would be a dud on that day, since most of yall have about as much charisma as an old shoe.

Usually this just means "no politics I disagree with."

Sure, or you could go outside and play on some days.

First we will form a committee that monitors and tracks posts for subject matter that may be political. There will be extensive lists of what is acceptable and what isn't, topics that will be debated at length every week.

Then, roughly two months into NoPo days, a tampon v pad debate between a childfree estate lawyer and a closeted scentsy sales rep with a breeder fetish will spill over into other instances, inflaming users to pick sides. Both women will become icons on their respective feminine hygiene products until they are both viciously doxed and swatted by opposing communities.

One week after, NoPo days will ban any words related to period protection and thus incite a backlash from lemmy feminists and allied persons.

The committee will be fediversally disbanded only ten weeks into NoPo days and it's members will be forced to make alt accounts in dishonor.

On an individual community this could work, sure, but on the whole website you would effectively be closing certain communities entirely.

I feel like the entire comment section just proves the op's point ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I like how everyone here is missing the point entirely. I don't want yet another heated comments section. Why is it to complicated to not have everyone dying on some random hill.

I use filters on voyager to block whatever annoys me.
