In the sidebar you will see that rule 3 is “Avoid politics”, as of US election day.
Political posts represent the vast majority of the moderation burden. They tend not to be the fun/quirky/whimsical/goofy/nonsense kind of posts that people enjoy from c/showerthoughts.
Maybe we should make a c/drivewaythoughts or a c/doomscrollingthoughts to fill the void.
The rule will begin 0200 UTC Nov 6, 2024 to be exact, you have 2 minutes, go ham.
As always I’m open to feedback.
EDIT: While I’m editing the sidebar. I will remove the “Be good to others” rule because it’s redundant to the opening paragraph of Lemmy’s Code of Conduct.
EDIT 2: If you want to give anonymous feedback you can report this post and give your feedback in the report. It’s anonymous to me at least.
Keep the rule permanant
lol … it would be just funny for the mods to instead delete posts to just move them onto a c/rejectedpoliticalpostsfromshowerthoughts
keep up the work guys, the community looks great and we have you guys to thank for it.
I’m not sure that it’s possible to move posts but that would be funny. Maybe c/powerthoughts
Damnit I missed my 2-minute window of opportunity!? /s :-P
Thank you! There are definitely a lot of politics communities on Lemmy, so I’m a huge fan of not having them leak into casual communities like this.
Thank you. Brilliant, wonderful.
So tired of politics, there are communities for that stuff.
