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.

    Thank you. Brilliant, wonderful.

    So tired of politics, there are communities for that stuff.

      I’m considering setting up my own instance with an instance-wide ban on all political contents… It’s annoying to deal with those political posts with super vague title so it bypasses the keyword filter.
