And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

Cute animal pictures inevitably leads to conversations like:

Pitbulls should be banned!
Cats are an invasive species that are terrible for the environment and you shouldn't let them outside
Vegan arguments against pets
Vegan arguments against feeding pets meat

Politics is just turning life into a legal model, the way physics turns the universe into a mathematical model. To ban politics is to ban life itself. It is incredibly naive to think you can do so.

Maybe you could ban US-cdntric discussion, but even that seems like a fool's errand. We live in a globally connected world and the US is one of the most dominant forces in that world. Like it or not, US politics impacts the entire planet.

Declawing cats.

Docking tails.

Breeds of pets that are guaranteed to have health issues later in life.

For profit animal breeders in general.

Tbf I wouldn't complain about dog politics in a dog community, even though it would be nice if I didn't have to argue against animal cruelty and instead could just look at a pic of a cute doggy, at least it fits the comm. At the same time, if the comm rules decide that dog politics are still politics and therefore banned, then follow the comms rules instead of trying to bully everyone into your rules, which doesn't sound very leftist to me.

Do I need to see posts about ICE in the dog comm? Fuck no.

Honestly I'm surprised I have to explain that, it seems like common sense. Just keep shit related to the comm, and post other shit elsewhere.

Like, should I start posting about Slackware in c/news and c/pics and c/dogs, or should I keep it in one of the many linux comms it belongs in? Ok, now, take that and apply it to everything else.

Yay, we did it, we did it, hooray!
