No, in fact the problem is that you are confused about where you are. This is not [email protected] or [email protected][email protected] where you seem to mostly hang out (and presumably shout and insult people). This is a sedate forum to discuss Wikipedia articles, which clearly you have no interest in doing.
This is a post of a Wikipedia article. Why are you complaining so much about it instead of having that discussion you’re so keen on everyone else having?
While I agree that some communities should limit political posts, Wikipedia has been invaluable with keeping up with what’s going on in recent years.
So much happens every day and much of it falls off the news cycle before I find out what ended up happening. The Wikipedia compilation/ series articles are excellent resources for staying informed.
Sidebar should say something about THREE ragebaity posts in 24 hours on US politics, a subject which is already covered interminably elsewhere.
PS: a relevant meta discussion from last week. If people here are trying to ensure the fediverse stays an unpopular, angry, politics-obsessed place, they’re on the right track.
Bub, I scroll All arranged Hot. I don’t hang out anywhere. I take the feed as it happens and comment when I fucking feel like it and say whatever the fuck I want to. You and a few other fucking crybabies have been bitching lately about not liking what you see. Block and move on. It’s easy. But, a Wiki article was posted to the Wikipedia discussion community. That’s what happens in this community and you come blubbering " oh is there no refuge from US politics", sure there is. There’s comics communities, LGBTQ communities, neurodivergence communities, art communities, cat picture communities. Don’t be fucking lazy. If you don’t like a post, even though it fits the community it was posted to, and how you decide to handle that is to complain, someone is going to tell you to shut the fuck up. I am taking that opportunity right now. Shut the fuck up.
This kind of comment (which I skim-read) is exactly why social media has such a bad name.
You’re someone who enjoys swearing and insulting people and probably doesn’t care if you get insulted in return. Do you really imagine that most people in society are like that?
Without moderation, every community inevitably ends up as an echo chamber inhabited by people like you. The others have all fled. For the community dedicated to Wikipedia, I hoped for better.
Since there’s no sanctuary from incessant US politics it would at least be nice if this place could be a refuge from aggressive swearing.
You should get off the internet. You aren’t made for it.

Sure. Posting the article on this latest incident is fine. Just not posting three on the same subject (and counting).
Sidebar doesn’t say anything about geographic restrictions.
