Why is rule 6 specifically targeted at US politics?

    Thanks. That makes a lot of sense

    I haven’t used Reddit for years but I could see what you mean from Lemmy too. I just hadn’t noticed such a specific targeting of limitations in rules before.

      Now that I think about it, I honestly think that Lemmy has suffered this more than Reddit. Reddit has a lot of various non-politics related content but Lemmy seems to be filled a lot more with political posts. I get that many people find that content interesting, but after a while, one tires of it.

        I think we’d all like to go back to the days when politics was only occasionally interesting.

        Shit, I want news to be boring again. I remember when there was just thirty minutes of national news power day from 6 to 6:30. Then local news, and then The Muppet Show to put the world back into proper context.
