This community is for photography and interesting images. This isn’t the place for shitposts about trump overshadowing quality posts. There’s already 10 other communities people can go to for that.
And more. Can we ban these low effort political posts and go back to having a decent community? Thanks.
so you’re complaining about what might be one of the most famous photos to ever come out of the United States in a photography sub yeah okay
Because spam totally counts as photography, right?
As if there aren’t already 5,000 communities to post about US politics, you have to bring it literally everywhere. What’s wrong with keeping politics in their respective subs? Do you think we should spam every community every time something happens? It’s obvious this place is for aesthetically pleasing or interesting photos, and this is neither.
you’re missing the point, it’s a historical photograph in a photography sub… if it does belong anywhere it would be here if you appreciate historical photographs
I would argue it’s probably interesting for most people, as evidenced by the other comments. Also, you’re making a mountain out of a molehill, this is a one time thing that you could have just ignored for a few days
It was interesting the first few times but the entire front page of lemmy is just a giant circlejerk about it right now. Gets old pretty fast seeing nothing but American politics spammed everywhere, at least keep it to the political communities so it’s easier to block.
I get it, I feel the same way about Unix threads and Pokemon, but I just scroll on by, and when it gets too annoying to ignore, I put the phone down and pick up a book. It’s much less exhausting than trying to police how other people use the internet.
That photo is not even one day old. Have some patience.
go do something else for a while.
you don’t need to look at the front page of lemmy who_knows_how_many_times a day
But, but, but he has to see something more than once! Don’t you understand, his eyelids are ludovicoed open and he’s being forcefed social media, and it just keeps showing him - GASP - AMERICAN P-P-POLITICS! Oh, the humanity!
Honestly, I’m in agreement with OP. Yes it’s going to be/is a “famous” photo, but I join subs like this to NOT see all the depressing political/end of world/consumerism crap. There are plenty of other places for cheerosupremes mugshot. I personally scrolled past at least 20 of them on other like every other sub.
I agree with this take. This isn’t random political memes. This is literally a history making event. I’m sorry if some people are sick of it but it’s a once in a lifetime event for a lot of us.
Yes. I would like to complain about that. As a photo its content is not interesting and I am fed up of Trump spam.
If you lot didn’t keep giving him all this publicity he’d be forgotten by now.
