Guys I understand there’s big stuff going on in the world. This community though is really just about finding other communities. For now, on the theory that people kind of forgot where they were, some temp bans were handed out. I have no pretensions of this being c/news or something. But I also have no pretensions of this being c/news. It is absolutely beyond the pale to post your political broadsides here while people are trying to figure out the best place to have their community. The only way politics is acceptable here is if you’re talking about opening or moving a community about politics or because of politics. And it should absolutely remain civil. A simple, “I don’t like your ideology”, is enough here.
Have you and the other active mods considered adding a civility rule in the sidebar?
I’ve been thinking about redoing the side bar but it’s going to be a week or so.
You don’t want to add civility - that constrains. Best let people be free.
It’s actually already a rule. It’s in the instance rules. That’s what I mean when I say people are having trouble knowing what the rules are here.
