I think political posts here are fine for the most part, but I’ve been thinking if I should add a rule that political posts should be tagged “[POLITICAL]” for those who have filtering enabled for their feed so they can enjoy BBT without worry of seeing political memes
What do you fishes think?
Yes please. I am so sick of hearing about American politics shoehorned into every community on Lemmy.
Accidentally made my comment as a reply to yours, moving it now
I’m ok with tagging.
However, how do you define what is political?
- Is something political when it involves a public figure, like RFK jr?
- How about a policy, like sending people to concentration camps?
- Is war political?
- Is a virus political?
- Is being gay political?
- Is it political when ultra wealthy people travel to a private island and rape children?
- Is having any controversial opinion political?
Personally, I have a hard time keeping it straight. I can respect a request to tag a silly meme as political but how long till memes start getting reddit style taken down for things others claim is political for arbitrary reasons.
