(edit 3/23/25: re-stickying this since we've gained a lot of new users in recent months)
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

so name 3 meme places that allow politics?
americans are just pathetic. that is the problem. pruderie was the beginning. the cuckholders from across the pond fell for the silicon valley fear like there can be only a bot ruling us all because ppl are bad. i think it is more amazing that americans can even breathe by themselvs. so "real" politics would blow their "mind".

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.

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

No politics
?
But...
The_Picard_Maneuver 1 point 2 months ago
The spirit of the rule is to keep the memes community from being a place for proselytizing one's politics.
So, for example, using a >50 year old event in a meme to show "this is why communism is bad" or "It's like we're all on the Titanic, because we've gotta watch out for ICE!" would both be rule-breaking, but something like "local man named Abe Lincoln refuses to go to theater" would be fair game.

Making fun of politicians is one of our favourite national pastimes.

It's a good rule of thumb for media, but I don't care for it's use as a justification for constantly spamming low effort political memes like on r/adviceanimals. Winding yourself up about things you can't control doesn't make the world better, it just fucks up your mental health. There are no shortage of political communities to use on this site.

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.
