Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don't.
It'd be nice if I could collect channels into custom feeds, so I could have a separate feed for my political channels. And if those feeds could be shareable

Multicommunities have been funded: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-09-11_-_New_NLnet_funding_for_Lemmy
Interesting.
I'm not really a reddit user so idk how multireddits work. Is it something a user sets up for themselves? Or is it something public like a subreddit?
It's basically what you said in your previous comment, personal custom feeds defined by users for themselves. Some could be made public, but the usual use case was private.
That's such good news! It's especially important given how small many of the communities are compared to their counterparts on Reddit. I want to group all my miniature wargaming communities into one feed.
You are not alone. This place often feels like an astroturfed propaganda disbursement machine, even with a lot of filters and block lists.
I'm more tired of dozens of reposts of the same porn that I can't filter out because NSFW is a catch-all for anything 18+. I also have an issue with the quality of the said porn :-P
Start making your own
I don't mind edgy leftist memes, I just get annoyed at how overconfident MLs in particular are about their broader grasp of political philosophy.
And so unwilling to share their thoughts or teach. It’s all “this is truth and you’re a terrible person for not already agreeing. Oh, Mao says you’re not allowed to ask questions for some reason.”
I love it when they try to give me reading assignments. I was there when the deep magic was written, freshman!
In 99% of the cases they haven't even read beyond the Wikipedia summary anyway, in my experience.
Ultimately the ML types are pretty much identical to the sov cit types.
You’re lucky if they get that far. I’ve had people argue over facts that were easily verifiable by multiple sources. I’m too old to do their research for them.
People who complain about content on lemmy should probably just look for different communities. Or maybe not be psychotic right-wingers looking for 8chan edgelord content.
The amount of hate I get every time when I call out political opinions posted as "memes" is incredible. Every time it's either some mental gymnastics about how it actually counts as meme or alternatively ad-hominem accusations about my underlaying motives of only calling out left-wing political memes and never right-wing ones (I wonder why).
The truth is that my feed is almost exclusively politics despite me blocking every single political instance other than the ones for general news. I bet there's even a community dedicated to political memes but no. Some people absolutely have to inject their political views everywhere.
I have little patience for memes, and even less so political memes. The right wing stuff is all woman hating fascists, and the left wing stuff are people who would send me to a camp or chase me out of the country for having a slight disagreement with them on my specific take on socialism.
There's often no room for discussion or disagreement, because "its a joke". So at that point it's just political brainwashing, no matter which side it is on.
Of course, sometimes it's fun, and sometimes it's good. There's a role for humour to play in highlighting injustice and systemic absurdity. I'm not completely against it. I just have little patience for for it.
Which is why I mostly use this platform to look at pictures of owls.
My opinion:
I just wish someone would stop with all those leftist memes like ‘future of humanity under socialism vs. capitalism’ because it’s just, in a crude manner, cringe. They’re not very unique, and fail to underline even the basic differences between the two ideologies.
Capitalism is not understood by everyone here, and I feel like those making this stuff are extremely young, have yet to understand what the world offers.
It’s clear that socialism does have its merits but making memes simply mocking capitalism without showing crude memes… not worth it.
I just downvote those kind of posts, they’re awfully low quality and low effort.
What annoys me is the assumption that socialism or communism would fix all of our problems and noone would ever do or feel something bad again.
Posts complaining about "politics" and "propaganda" are invariably made by people who want to see those things, just the kind aligned with their politics.
I think the first time I saw this meme format was around 2002-2004. And I've seen it 10,000 times since then. And if OP is posting this in good faith, this will be the first time.
And BTW, there is no such thing as a space without propaganda or politics. Only spaces where the politics and propaganda are homestyle and cozy.
I really mean it, this is "my kind" of propaganda. I'm just way too over-saturated with this stuff. Like it's nice having a space to talk about that, but when we get to the point where "jokes" are just politics without any punchline i think the "jokes" become a bit pointless
It sounds like it’s time for you to take a break. Not for everyone else to alter their behavior to suit your desires.
Yeah, this is true, but that's why this post is not on c/lemmysucks or something like that, the point of this post is just to see if other people share this opinion with me. This does not bring me rage or anything like that.
We are all fragile human creatures that share a sense of community and shared values, relatability is hardcoded on us, can't i be human too ay?
Don't worry about EleventhHour. They live to argue with anyone over stupid things. They're trolling just to get a rise out of you.
Honestly, I kinda enjoy seeing the opposite side, the lefty shit
It reminds me just how insane the left can actually get. Like y'all think taking guns is a good idea, that only the police should be armed. It's just stupid.
I've never seen a leftist argue for unilateral disarming. Only liberals.
I don't know about that. I've seen a lot of people claiming to be left wingers wanting to disarm people.
It is really interesting that the original post got removed. Guess people don't complain about .ml without reason.
What was the reason?
they just deleted it, no reason given as far as i'm concerned, maybe there is something on the modlog or something like that
https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2710970
Removed Post Do you all also get tired of political/leftist/anarchist memes, comics and stuff?
reason: Community rule 2
Thank you! Still really lame that they used that rule as an excuse -_-
People routinely get banned from all the communities across the entire instance for saying things that are negative - or not strongly positive enough - about the former communist nations especially Russia or China, or communism etc. You got off easy here merely having just the post removed. So you probably want to find other communities not on Lemmy.ml before this happens to you. As you did here!:-)
I'm still trying to figure out why people think that yelling about Socialism is a great idea.
The Right figured it out years ago; go along to get along. Reagan was smart enough to put the first woman on the Supreme Court and made African-American Colin Powell his Number One guy.
It's like they'd rather lose and be able to talk about how noble the cause is.
edit =getting down voted, but no one bothers to actually explain why they feel the need to use the unpopular term.
