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.

I think you'll probably have to start blocking users. Not ideal, though.

Sometimes, it's all you can do. The political talk is so heated people are starting to harass each other over it. It's what the block feature is supposed to be for.

Honestly, all of Lemmy needs to sit down and decide whether this is the direction they truly want to allow their platform to go in, because so far, I am not impressed.

I disagree that all of Lemmy needs to pick a direction. That's the nice thing about instances. You can spin up your own and do what you want on there.

I think a lot of this would be resolved by more features. Instance blocking on user side should be a thing, for example. I think some app does it, but it's not a feature of the whole platform. Also, if there was a way to automatically link multiple communities of the same topic from different instances, I think it would cut down on a lot of the repetitive content we see on All. But that would have to be a feature you can toggle, otherwise I can imagine it breaking horribly.
