It's amazing how many people are raging about the rules of a couple communities about no politics when I can count dozens of active communities who are political based.
Everything's over. I'm mentally drained. I just want to zone out and look at memes.
I just cruise NSFW subs. Nothing political there. Everyone loves a nice butt or pair of breasts
so name 3 meme places that allow politics?
americans are just pathetic. that is the problem. pruderie was the beginning. the cuckholders from across the pond fell for the silicon valley fear like there can be only a bot ruling us all because ppl are bad. i think it is more amazing that americans can even breathe by themselvs. so "real" politics would blow their "mind".
Comment is over a year old dude.
And? Comments expire?

Thank you for being a refuge from some of the noise in the world
Pointless rule. Everything is politics.
In this context "politics" clearly conveys "things directly related to governments, such as wars, elections, or socio-economical ideologies". It is only a subset of the definition of politics that you're probably using, something like "things direct or indirectly related to human groups and their conflicts of interest".
We got a whole Lemmy to talk about Israel vs. Hamas, late stage capitalism, elections etc. We could - and should - have at least one community to chill and talk about other stuff, and without that rule we won't have it. For example without that rule 99.99999% of the content as of late 2024 would be about Trump, as if Americans didn't have multiple communities to talk about it already.
Make the deuce i just dropped while reading your comment political. Come on, go ahead. I DARE YOU!!
Bruh, what?
Why did you resurrect a nine month old post?
It's a good rule of thumb for media, but I don't care for it's use as a justification for constantly spamming low effort political memes like on r/adviceanimals. Winding yourself up about things you can't control doesn't make the world better, it just fucks up your mental health. There are no shortage of political communities to use on this site.
Thank you for this. I know some people won't appreciate it but not every community needs to be a full time political outlet.
Sometimes people want a breather, myself included. If there weren't so many other places to browse that kind of content, we wouldn't have the rule.
The population on Lemmy is very politically aware and has strong opinions, which is good, however that also means that it's very easy for any community to become overwhelmed by it and suddenly have little else.

Thank you π
