I came here since I was fed up with the politics on Reddit.

I was pretty disappointed when I saw the same thing happening here. So thanks!

Thank you! Could this be permanent? People can use an AskLemmyPolitics community if they really need to.

We just had probably the most consequential election of our life and you want to ban discussion? Jeezus.

This is an ask community, not a politics community. Not everything revolves around America

... And now you can't ask anything about politics. There's was doubtless going to be political questions to ask, and politic adjacent (where do I move) that will all be removed.

And you can't even ask about effects on the world either! Gaza, Ukraine, NATO, trade, tariffs, etc. Are those going to be removed? All valid questions, but sounds political to me.

Like way to shut down shit tons of conversation.

THIS ISN'T A DISCUSSION COMMUNITY! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS. MOST POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS AREN'T OPEN ENDED.

We get 10ish posts here a day... I guess if you want less activity here good job you win. I hate these temp rules in communities.

I only see one thread in the modlog too. Seems kinda weird.
