I just want to post a reminder that this is the general memes community, and we’d prefer for political memes to be directed to c/political_memes.
I don’t want to remove posts that already have conversations going (unless they’re getting out of hand) because I know there’s a lot to talk about, but Rule 2 will be enforced more strictly moving forward.
Thanks, TPM
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.
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 for being a refuge from some of the noise in the world
🙏
Thank you 🙏
