Even the fediverse community is now about US elections.
I'll tell you what your "fediverse" is all about: USA. And mainly Trump vs Harris.
It's like nothing else exist. fediverse my @$$.
Yeah, I've blocked every US-specific community I've seen on the everything feed but it keeps spilling into seemingly unrelated communities too. And it's only going to get worse.
ikr, why do people care? it's not like us politics affects anyone outside the us. this is one country that notoriously doesn't meddle in any other country's matters one bit, and has no armed forces or even political influence outside its own borders.
a lot of instances are really just Redditors who refuse to use reddit. this is especially apparent with the USA defaultism. the best thing you can do is curate the feed with blocked communities and only stay in subscribed, but as we can see here it even bleeds into totally unrelated shit sometimes, so.
It's like the domino theory. If the US falls to fascism, so will the rest of the western world!
