I was scrolling on Lemmy and I saw at least 5 Trump mug shot posts. It’s just annoying at this point.

    cathartic

    Understandable, but personally, I really hate it.

    What I really looked forward to after Trump’s pathetic election loss in 2020 was being able to look at reddit without 2/3 of the posts being Trump this, Trump that, trump trump trump.

    I was super disappointed. While the page wasn’t all-trump-all-the-time anymore, I’d still see 1-2 Trump posts per page. That continues to this day on Lemmy :(

    I want to read about good and interesting things here, not just be part of feeding a monster’s ego.

      I get not wanting to see it everywhere but you also have to understand that this is really world news. This is a central figure in American politics that is actually going to trial for an attempt to overthrow American democracy.

      This is a historical moment that will probably be talked about for decades regardless of which direction it goes.
