Btw, this thread is a prime example of how every community on lemmy is about US politics.

In the past month this community has had 3 other posts:
"What game did this component come from",
a post that's just a link to the Essen page with no comments,
and a post CAH suing Elon.

I'm not going to be upset when this community isn't being used for boardgames anyway. Maybe this will remind people that this community exists and encourage more posts.

Or it is news about the publisher of a popular (outside of the hobby) game.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Okay, but then why is this community so dead and only has the US politics post up there? Like, there are hundreds of boardgame news, some of them literally being about a publisher of a popular game announcing a boardgame (Rayman), raising insane amounts of money on Kickstarter. Yet it's not mentioned, and the politics posts are.

Because it's pretty dead and needs people contributing posts. It's not like a mod is being biased here, there's just no submissions. You could be the change you want to see in the sub and start submitting posts.

US politics is very interesting to be fair

[-] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

It's, actually, extremely boring. There are two candidates, everyone knows their approximate stance, there's almost nobody who would be possibly thinking twice about one over the other (on both sides), you sure as hell won't find those on lemmy. It's a business that's been settled month ago.

Oh, and then there's this side character to the story, with a funny name, and there hasn't been anything new about him either, but people keep bringing him up and calling him names.

Whatever, bro, it's like watching big bang theory every night. Gets hella old real quick.

  1. Violence (Assassination attempt on a candidate)

  2. Natural Disasters

  3. Legal Chicanery (A candidate needs to win to stay out of prison)

  4. International Consequences (Ukraine could be fucked)

These are very much not boring to watch

[-] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah, occasionally stuff happens that's fun.

But:

  1. Assassination attempt was a show
  2. Climate change has been on it's exponential path for a while, we all knew that
  3. That's actually fun. Although also sad. And also, how the f is your justice system still on it 4 years later? No, it's ok, apparently in the middle of EU, in some fukin Austria this sh1t also flies, so no worries.
  4. Yes, but there are like 2 outcomes, nothing changes about them, and it's all essentially about 5 weirdly shaped districts in 3 swingers states. Imagine you actually had like 10 parties with different coalition options and 2-3% moves would imply different new geopolitical configurations every time.
