Reminder about Rule #2: No politics (lemmy.world)

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 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.
