There have been quite a few comments and posts arguing about political memes and whether they belong here. I’m not exactly in any position of authority, but hopefully I can do something about this.

Which option do y’all think is best?

  1. People who want to post political memes do so in [email protected] instead.
  2. People who don’t want to see political memes subscribe to [email protected] instead, which doesn’t allow politics.
  3. Nothing changes.

I’m not asking for a rule to be made, I’m just asking for the general consensus. I’m hoping that this will help to raise awareness of those other communities, so that if people favor option 1, more political meme posters can move there, and if people favor option 2, more people who don’t want politics can move there. And then I can also know whether to keep watching this community or move.

(Please don’t downvote this post for complaining about political memes, because if it gets seen, it tells the complainers where they can go to avoid political memes, and then they’ll be out of your hair.)

    How about 1 and 2, and get rid of this one? It’ll force all to move and hopefully provide more interaction to their respective preference.

    Chaotic, I know, but I for one try my best to avoid political arguments and topics. I bet some of you now enjoy how much it bothers me, an internet stranger not wanting a reminder of how much governments suck everywhere, but still wants to view memes here.
