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'm sorry I have to. I'm not even sure if this exactly is political or another page of the onion.
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.
Pointless rule. Everything is politics.
🙏
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.
/J /J /J /J Nooooooooooo, thats not fair! How come you Ban USA politics! how? how people will know stuff they already know or spam USA politics memes so they can fight even more in the comments! This is an atrocious Rule, made to push away USA based users! Poor USA citizens are being turned away! What will they post now? USA is a super power and Meta, Apple, Tesla and Amazon will talk to President so they can crash you! You can't stop USA politics dude! This is a war, like the other wars USA started! Be aware, you are going down! /J /J /J /J /J /J /J /J /J /J /J /J /J
What about events that happened over 50 years ago?
Or events like the Titanic, which was very political at the time?
The spirit of the rule is to keep the memes community from being a place for proselytizing one's politics.
So, for example, using a >50 year old event in a meme to show "this is why communism is bad" or "It's like we're all on the Titanic, because we've gotta watch out for ICE!" would both be rule-breaking, but something like "local man named Abe Lincoln refuses to go to theater" would be fair game.
good rule
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for being a refuge from some of the noise in the world
Now to make some memes
🍑💨 I only saw this rule after posting. My baaaaad
No worries. It would be best to just repost that one in the politicalmemes community instead.
🕺🏻 Cool👍
/s Infringing on Canadian culture.
Making fun of politicians is one of our favourite national pastimes.
Censoring! Everywhere I go, everywhere I look!
Good
