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/politicalmemes.

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.

I just cruise NSFW subs. Nothing political there. Everyone loves a nice butt or pair of breasts

Good thing it isn't your baby getting murder or raped must be a nice to be privileged to just ignore everything and zone out.

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.

🍑💨 I only saw this rule after posting. My baaaaad

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No worries. It would be best to just repost that one in the politicalmemes community instead.

🕺🏻 Cool👍
