there isn’t really anything stating that posts should be memes, the name is a bit misleading because it came from whitepeopletwitter, which people wanted to make more general. Any microblog post is theoretically allowed as long as it follows the rules in the sidebar. This arguably counts as brand promotion/guerilla marketing, although I think the message is divorced enough from the brand to be acceptable.
Fuck that shit, I have news and politics subscriptions for that. There is no worse way to get info or opinions about actually important stuff than microblog.
Hey, you do realize that you can go make your own post with whatever source you want if you don’t like it? But this microblogmeme has informed you and at least 450 other people so it has done “something” even if it doesn’t meet your perfect criteria of promoting important info.
But if you’re just wanting to look like a reactionary and petulant fediverse user then no further action needed.
Places like the threadiverse only work if people put stuff in the appropriate place. Creating more posts doesn’t fix it when people fail to do that.
I’m not more informed than I was before because I don’t trust anything from twatter to be anything other than paid-for propaganda. That doesn’t matter if it’s an actual meme or joke.
I had to do the same thing. I spend a little time each day blocking and filtering out political posts here and I really didn’t want to block this community.

Sounds like this is not the place for you then.
I looked at the current posts and nope, looks like the op just chose something shit/posted it to an inappropriate community.
