Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Oh man can we not make the fediverse an outlet for US politics doom cycle?

Would you like help blocking a community?

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I’d like UK politics but not US - how should I go about this?

[–] DrM@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't block UK communities, but block the Politics community. They are copies from the reddit communities and r/politics was only about US politics over there as well

Maybe don't browse all if you're that close minded?

As far as I've seen, the name !politics@lemmy.world is a pretty good example of US defaultism. You won't be missing much UK politics by blocking this community.

We have UK Politics liked in the sidebar of the community and a few others as well.

You're going to want to head over to

And from the sidebar of each community, you should get a "block community" option. That way it won't show up in your "all" feed.

Personally, I would highly recommend getting some subscriptions going. You get a lot of control over your experience by populating "subscribed" and scrolling that instead of scrolling "all"
