Reminder about Rule #2: No politics

(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

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

1.5 years later response. At the same time if β€œEverythings over” we shouldn’t have moderation anymore. Let the seatbelts off because shits going downhill like shit in the toilet.

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.

In this context "politics" clearly conveys "things directly related to governments, such as wars, elections, or socio-economical ideologies". It is only a subset of the definition of politics that you're probably using, something like "things direct or indirectly related to human groups and their conflicts of interest".

We got a whole Lemmy to talk about Israel vs. Hamas, late stage capitalism, elections etc. We could - and should - have at least one community to chill and talk about other stuff, and without that rule we won't have it. For example without that rule 99.99999% of the content as of late 2024 would be about Trump, as if Americans didn't have multiple communities to talk about it already.

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.
