    but I don’t like news. It’s stressful, annoying, confusing, etc.

    So you don’t like news, and that made you decide to tell people to block me?! Ok… Um, what about the other people who post a lot more news than me? Most of the news I post is pro-socialist news. You can just admit you don’t like socialism. But to tell people to block me because of it, is hilarious.

    So now I have advice for newcomers: Guys, ya’ll should block Camille_Jamal. He doesn’t like news about socialism.

    See how that works?

      Bro fair enough I’ll unblock on main sorry

      My excuse:

      When im new to a platform I tend to believe the first thing I see and im used to back on reddit (ew) when you could tell what a user is like better from posts than comments if they post often. I was also tired and thus my judgement was impaired. Sorry bro. Took a minute to actually use my brain today, and you actually dont seem as spammy as other guy was saying (at least this instance no energy to see other)

      Ok so neither of y’all seem spammy sorry also I learned how to community block instead of user block for shit I don’t like (like politics I don’t care what flavour just don’t politics at me)

      That was a weird and silly mishap sorry!

      Honestly I never should have commented that and didn’t mean “hey guys block this guy” at the time I really just wanted to say “just so you know im blocking” cuz my dumbass didnt realize you can block communities (look I don’t care what flavour of politics just don’t include me with it) im honestly tired and confused now just like I was 2ish months ago but thats hardly an excuse if at all and really I just don’t want conflict right now. It’s been a long day.

      Uhh have good day ig idk

        Hey, friend, no worries. What you’ll find out here is that Lemmy is much much more extreme in their viewpoints. Lemmy seems to attract people who are inclined to be more obsessive on certain things, than the general public. So on here, you’ll notice that when someone gets angry at someone, they do NOT let it drop.

        Many will follow ya around and just talk shit about you forever if you disagreed with them in the past.

        So my fanclub likes to jump in a lot of newbie posts and say, “block UniversalMonk first!!” Not because it’s good advice, but because they don’t like me. There are more posts about me, than posts by me. lolololol

        But if ya look at my post history, I pretty much just stick to the little communities I manage. And you won’t find anything controversial. Just some extreme reactions to it. Ask the angry people to be specific about why they are mad at me, and they never have an answer except that they bizarrely think I am pro-Trump, even tho I didn’t vote for him and the vast majority of my articles I post are anti-Trump. LMAO

        To be honest, I’m like you and not that into politics. One of the more disappointing things about Lemmy for me is how many people revert to politics every single thread and post. It’s annoying. I think that Lemmy having being so obsessed about political talk will actually doom it. Lemmy is never gonna be popular.

        Too much politics. Too much anger. Too much obsessive stalker-types.

        I try to do my part to help Lemmy grow, but even when I post something non-political, like about science, or education or something, people like to jump in and say variations of “Fuck you! You ruined the US!” lolol As if the 100 people who post regularly on Lemmy can change anything about society. lololol

        I still love the idea of non-centralized stuff, the federation, etc. But the crowd on Lemmy is to obsessive-compulsive to allow it to grow.

        You and me are actually more alike, than we are different. Let me know how things turn out for you and if you can find enough non-political content to keep ya here.
