There's already so little content on Lemmy, I'm not sure that was really necessary.
What about political satire, will that still be allowed?

MODERATORS
I'm also waaaay late but posting for those that might be interested. https://lemmy.ml/c/videos seems to be predominantly political type videos (warning: I dont watch them, they could be balanced/propaganda/rage bait/conspiratorial).
PS I'd also have voted to keep them separate.
I know that I'm late to the poll, but I'm glad that there will be a different place for political videos. I don't always want to be exposed to them.
There's a near infinite number of awesome videos that can be shared. I think we can do without the talking heads political commentary and related geopolitics stuff.
i personally feel indifferent, but i wish lemmy had reddit "flair" feature, so we can easily filter what's what.
You gotta keep'em separated.
Looks like most of you would prefer us to separate the content. We’ll start to work to update the rules!

The downside of allowing them is that the community may get flooded with USpol posts that are as of now hard to filter on Lemmy. So I vote to keep them out. However, to stop getting all those reports on what right now are considered unwritten rule violations (at least by some of the community) I strongly suggest to make more explicit rule on this in the sidebar.
Keep em out. I am trying to avoid most political Lemmy communities since they tend to skew so far left.
That said, I think y'all need a place to share political videos, IIRC most politics communities on Lemmy don't allow for that. Maybe a political videos community is in order.
