The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

    Where do you live at, a battleground state? I don’t, so we never got all the targeted advertising and whatnot here. I imagine someone in Ohio or Florida would have a much different experience due to political advertising. However, you probably weren’t experiencing it online in Yahoo pool or Diablo II. The 24 hour news cycle didn’t exist until the mid to late nineties, and only took off after September 11 2001. If you were consuming and discussing political content on a daily basis, then you were an outlier.
