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

Thank you for being a refuge from some of the noise in the world
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.
Now to make some memes
Pointless rule. Everything is politics.
In this context “politics” clearly conveys “things directly related to governments, such as wars, elections, or socio-economical ideologies”. It is only a subset of the definition of politics that you’re probably using, something like “things direct or indirectly related to human groups and their conflicts of interest”.
We got a whole Lemmy to talk about Israel vs. Hamas, late stage capitalism, elections etc. We could - and should - have at least one community to chill and talk about other stuff, and without that rule we won’t have it. For example without that rule 99.99999% of the content as of late 2024 would be about Trump, as if Americans didn’t have multiple communities to talk about it already.
