If the light-hearted communities you don't want to read about politics in have a "No politics" rules, the mods should intervene when someone starts plugging politics. If they don't have this rule, you should suggest it be added.
But there could be genuinely mildly infuriating political content. I think the issue is major political content
Well, it's not black and white.
Some relevant politically-charged content can slip through even with a no-politics rule. For instance, I moderate a community on disability which has "No politics" in the rules. But I let Luigi stuff through, despite it leading very quickly to debates on US political choices, because it is relevant and it's emotionally charged for the people involved. But if any Luigi comments devolved into straight politics (rather than focused on healthcare insurance) I'd kill them.
I think a community can have a no-politics rule and still leave room for stuff that's relevant to the community. But it depends on the community, what the members want and how the moderators enforce the rules. At the end of the day, it's up to the moderators to set the tone and make sure things stay the way the community wants them to be.
I think you’re looking at this through a very US lens. Consider the following fact, The Irish Embassy in Ottawa, Canada is one block away from O’Connor street. It’s mildly infuriating and it’s political. This would not be allowed if there was a no politics rule. The issue isn’t politics in posts, the issue is that recently there have been a lot of very infuriating posts that also happen to be political.
This is the way. Mods pls!
