Weather and transit posts, maybe, but probably mostly just nonsense talk.
If I don’t get out of cheetoland, I am screwed completely.
Had to block a bunch of communities to detoxify the homepage

Unfortunately I’m on the wrong side of the border, so I’m more screwed in a way, but means the incentive to get out is much higher.
Holy sheesh. Should I take this at face value? Seems plausible.
The thing about implementing tariffs for a day then turning it off again after 24 hours to “test whether cheetoland’s or the Canada’s ecnomy crashes or not” seems too good to be true. The thing about destabilizing Canada with (social) media campaigns, then I remember the fact that I’ve already seen dozens of posts of “American media pretending to be Canadian” right here on Lemmy.
This article literally screams “get out ASAP” to me like it’s ringing alarm bells. I’ve never felt so scared or paranoid. Is this the thing that convinces me that I gotta leave my hellscape I’m in and emigrate elsewhere?
Yea. I actually had !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca filtered, so I had to unblock it and edit my post.
In !australia@aussie.zone, they have a huge banner at the top of the sidebar telling users “Before you post, if it’s politics or world news, post it in the specific sub-communities at x and y”. It makes a huge difference in how the main Australia community is much less hectic and easier to find discussion and text posts, vs. !canada@lemmy.ca.
The sidebar of !canada@lemmy.ca does not have any banner or mention of !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca, but is instead buried underneath a collapsed menu. This I would think leads to users posting political and geopolitical news in !canada@lemmy.ca instead of !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca, which the latter is better suited for such posts.
In those instances, I suppose it is fine to post that in the main !canada@lemmy.ca community if it is that major. I’d imagine there would be text/general discussion posts relating to that issue, so such news would be in the main Canada community anyways in that format.
I think filtering based on link posts vs. text and image posts would be valuable. Perhaps !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca and (world)news@lemmy.ca could become communities dedicated to link posts (posts that link to news sites, etc.), and then !canada@lemmy.ca would be text, image, opinion, and miscellaneous posts. (i.e., open ended discussion, etc.). It seems like right now !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca currently allows text posts as well, but I suppose that is fine and there isn’t that big of a need to change that.
