Geez you’re not kidding. All the recent posts are politics with regular sounding headlines. I’m gonna start downvoting headlines that don’t fit.

Fair point. These three aren't great.  Since when was "fighter jet falls off aircraft carrier" satirical? This stuff does happen occasionally. It's just an accident. Most stuff on here belongs on aboringdystopia

I found that my communities stayed on track better when I made robust rules and offered alternatives where content would be a better fit. !dullsters@dullsters.net and !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

Funny, and I just noticed in my YouTube feed: "Satire Isn't Dead, It's Ineffective" I wonder why.

By the nature of this community it will be political. The key is not to use this community as a podium to announce your beliefs from. You can have politics without shouting into the void. Could we better utilize the down vote system? Maybe make a rule that posts with a certain number of down votes to upvotes ratio will be locked.

It's not even valuable politics posts. Every other one is an annoying 'look at the stupid thing Trump said, did or wore'.

Also try banning people who don't respect the rule of law.

I mean, those are the posts that get the most comments and votes.... and most posts only come from a handful of people...

I have a purely empirical question. If this is NOT The Onion, then what is it? Is it everything except for The Onion, or is it an Onion-adjacent community. Will I be banned for posting onions and onion related media. By extension is Shrek allowed, as he is like an onion, which in term has layers, which in term is like an ogre, but also like a person. So is it kind of like The Onion, or nothing like The Onion? You say not to post politics, but all news is political. So I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. And I'm not sure how to engage. And if this is a place for true stories that sound fake, do they have to be sourced, or can they be personal stories. I just need some clarification, that's all. Thanks in advance.

To be fair some of said stories genuinely could have been onion articles... In what sane world would we deport a 4 year old resident with cancer? How is that an actual headline? The times this year I've had to double check is astonishing.

Whingeing about the whingeing will surely fix it!

@Allero@lemmy.today 2025-05-01 12:12
They may also feel it's not talked enough in general, and put it here on Lemmy, where every second post is about that.

@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2025-05-02 01:00
That's social media in a but shell. It explains why you see political on seemly random communities like shower thoughts.

Wouldn't they strap it down? Also wouldn't The ship be big enough to not tip as much? Forgive me for not having a deep understanding of aircraft carriers

@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2025-05-02 02:44
No, I've never seen an aircraft carrier

Not a political community? [The evidence](https://lemmy.world/post/47726450) isn't supporting that. Anti-LGBGTQ people being ridiculous isn't oniony, it's just Wednesday.
