Thanks, other communities like !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world don't have such rules, the community is overriden with questions about US politics

I get that it's annoying, but we're sad, and angry, and scared, and we don't know where to go. Maybe someone will make us a community called "Now what?" where we can cry, shout, wallow a bit, and then make a plan for survival.

Be the change you want to see then. You can make that community. I mean this in a supportive way. Go for it!

!politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world seems good as it allows self-posts

!politics@lemmy.world for news

I appreciate the confidence and encouragement, but I'm completely unqualified. I'm likely the least techie lemmy user. If there were tech levels, I would in the 'I can set up a printer about 60% of the time' category.

If you remind me later - I have to get ready for work soon - I'll help you if you want. Its fairly easy. Easier than a printer, so you're already qualified lol
