Here I am from the Balkans.
But I feel like posting about USA, until it’s never relevant again.
MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff

Alright then. I have not been following much, ironically. I think America is of course, trying to meddle in our oil refinery deal, after putting sanctions on our refinery (which was partially owned by Russia).
I am secretly very happy about the refinery problems…anyway, it starts work again 23th January.
There were warnings that we would not be able to recieve pay on our credit cards (no transfers) or something like that as well.
Caused me to withdraw all my cash.

Just take a look at the large communities on Lemmy:
- News: American
- Politics: American
- Memes: American AND political
I could not find any European meme community at all, and if there was one, I have a hunch it would be flooded with things Trump said or Musk said or whatever is new on Netflix. I guess news about the Circular Economy or the microplastics regulation, being rolled out slowly and in phases, though absolutely affecting EUropeans’ everyday lives, are just not quite as entertaining from an existentialist POV.

It’s impossible because Trump keeps doing things it can still be 3:00 in the morning over there and he’ll do something. All Europe seems to have is the Germans, and they keep posting in their weird secret language.

As someone that can read German, das ist keine Problem. Es war sehr gut für Deutsch zu lernen. (My German is shit tho)

Is it just me, or is that a really hack thing to do in standup comedy? lol
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 1 hour ago
Its literarary shorthand for “this comic is bad at their job.” No comedians actually say that, unless they’re referencing a hack comedian.

I have a filter on
Trump Musk ICE Vance [Ai] slop Microsoft Grok
My All Feed is basically empty now or consists of posts with zero or very few comments. I love the filter option, but it has also made it quite clear what is being pushed the most on Lemmy.
Deceptichum@quokk.au 9 hours ago
Yeah just some of the most important world events going on. Crazy how people talk about that stuff.
TwoTiredMice@feddit.dk 9 hours ago
Sure, but i’ve just reached a point where I don’t want to get bummed out, everytime I open a social media app.
There must be positive things to talk about, and not just the enshittification of everything and the end of the world.
StillAlive@piefed.world 9 hours ago
I don’t care about things that happen in my country cause rest of the people don’t. I have stopped reading news in the last 3-4 years cause the situation is hopeless.
Same goes for USA.

My issue with that is that I would like getting the raw deal once in a while to not stay uninformed, something like multiple custom filters would be cool. All we have right now is the subscribed list and the All list, which is filtered. Would be nice to have several filter lists.

I’d love to make fun of European politics, there’s no shortage of embarrassments.
not my fault my fellow Americans elected king dumbass.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Hang on a second. We didn’t elect a king. You don’t elect a king. We elected a dictator.
There’s a difference.
Kings are born royalty. This jackass got elected. We CHOOSE him. This is OUR fault. Whereas with kings, nobody chooses them. They’re just born into that role.
zaphod@sopuli.xyz 3 hours ago
Of course you can elect kings. It’s called elective monarchy, there have been a few of those throughout history.
db2@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
I don’t think we’re did though. Before even one vote was counted he was bragging that the results don’t matter because he has all the votes he needs. He literally announced that he’d rigged an election and nobody did anything about it.

Just block the rest. I blocked most of the USA stuff, because it’s too much. Trump said this, Trump did that, and some of the news are clickbait.
