0·10 days agoThis rule applies only to the AskLemmy community. A ban on US politics posts in AskLemmy makes sense for several reasons:
-
US politics tends to dominate many online spaces already, drowning out other valuable discussions.
-
Political discussions, especially about US politics, often become heated and polarized quickly, which can detract from the thoughtful, contemplative atmosphere that open-ended questions are meant to foster. When people discuss US politics, they tend to take hardened positions rather than engaging in genuine exploration of ideas.
-
US political discussions often fall into predictable patterns and talking points, which goes against the spirit of having thought-provoking questions. The same debates tend to play out repeatedly, offering little new insight or opportunity for meaningful reflection.
-
A community focused on open-ended questions should ideally have a global perspective. US political discussions can make the space feel less welcoming to non-US users who might have fascinating questions and perspectives to share about their own cultures, philosophies, and experiences.
-
There are other communities whose purpose better aligns with discussions about US politics.
-
People need some communities where they can engage with others and NOT have to see or think about the recent election.
Nobody wants every community to be a free-for-all about every topic. Please feel free to discuss US politics in a relevant community about the US, about politics, or about world news.

OP, this belongs in a support community (see rule 5). Locking.
Ask your community members how they want it moderated. You may not get agreement, but you should get a feel for the vibe of it. 😁

Already impacted. Unprecedented fires. Unprecedented floods. My home insurance is 5x what it was only five years ago.
When we add excessive amounts of it, it is definitely pollution. I think it’s time to start talking about it as such.
And yet there are still people who don’t human made climate change is real.
What, inconsistent units? /s
