I get it, 50% residents of one of the most influential countries on earth will be very upset, with a lot of geopolitic consequences.

But for some, we cant change the outcome in anyway, I hate the way content even on the Fediverse becomes. Yes its important but man. I was all into 2016 elections but it doesnt really change anything anyway. Americans go vote and all, though.

I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man

I’ve been trying to limit my election posting to the explicitly politics communities. I think that by blocking all of them, the non US people can hopefully keep the election chatter down to at least a dull roar, although I realize a lot of it is also spilling out into everywhere.

You folks have my sympathy, in other words. Hopefully in a week or so, we won’t need yours.
