As I’m sure you’ve already memorized the community rules as if it was your moms birthday, I probably need not post it, but here is rule 6 anyway:

  1. No US Politics.

Please don’t post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

I am writing this post in an effort to gather feedback on how the community feels about this rule. In short, keep it as it is, or revise it.

It is my personal belief that the main purpose it serves is to avoid the community from mainly revolving around what daft thing the orange lardsack last said or did. And while it serves that purpose well, I think it also inhibits some potential interesting topics.

For example, one possible revision could be to allow for questions regarding US politics, but with a requirement that the topic has to be regarding issues 25 years ago (that may or may not be relevant today).

Please let me hear your thunks.

    eyyyyy, shameless self-promo, but i made a community a couple days ago called !politicaloptimism@piefed.social

    i’m a little nervous about bringing this up since i’m the one of the only people active there right now, but we have a “Seeking Optimism” flair for people who are concerned about things happening and want assurance over the most sensational narratives over what’s happening.
