1. US people have the unique trait of not shutting the fuck up about their politics online
  2. getting rid of US politics will also get rid of most non-US politics due to all political conversation eventually ending up US politics conversations due to the above point
    • it would also be a nice indicator to those who are willing to read the room
  3. singling out US politics instead of a blanket “no politics” rule cleverly avoids the problem of “but what is/everything is political” debates that are just waiting to take over from the politics debates themselves
  4. election year or something idk I’m not from there

obviously this does not apply to communities whose explicit purpose is to talk politics

the internet is losing places for creatures to be silly little meow meows :3 in peace, and we need to do something, literally anything, about it

    I agree, there are many communities that I think benefit from various types of no-politics rules, many video game subs for instance. At the end of the day its not about the rule, though, it’s about the mods.
