Between November and now, I worked pretty diligently to create a wall around me to avoid these topics. Unfollowing, blocking, filtering.

Once the inauguration happened, I discovered that the concrete I used was faulty and full of holes. The black, fetid water of these lunatics seeped in from all directions.

Tech news, cultural news, arts, all possible other topics that I thought were safe within the walls I built are now covered with sludge.

I so tired of this shit. How did we let this happen?

I'm in the same spot. Even made a Lemmy account just so I can block communities. Then I go to technology/linux/memes communities and guess what? It's american politics all over. And don't even get me started on Reddit, at that point subreddits don't even matter anymore. Even on the subreddit related to my own country in eastern Europe, every day I see a ton of pointless "Trump news". And mods justification is always "it's TOTALLY related to our country because US politics impacts the entire world". Like, what's the point anymore? We might as well talk about Trump and Musk in the plants or lego community.
