It’s been a running joke since pretty much my 1st post in this comm, that somebody will find a way to explain how my comic post is political. Despite me making it pretty obvious in the sidebar that I’m referring to a very specific flavor of politics.
I’ve been rolling with them, since I find them more eye-rolling amusing than annoying. However it seems that others might be getting annoyed with them, which I can understand.
IF YOU ARE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, chime in with your opinion here. Should we continue to allow free for all comments, or subject them to the same restrictions on (particular) politics as the posts?
If you are already against the point of this community for whatever reason, please refrain from joining in the discussion.
Update: Based on the feedback and the amount of upvotes in the comments, it seems clear there’s a general consensus in favour of keeping the comments clear of politics as well. I’m somewhat busy at the moment but will get to updating the sidebar when I can. In the meantime, I’ll begin removing comments that break the rule, though I won’t be issuing any bans.
I vote against allowing political comments.
If you want to yak about politics, literally every other community on Lemmy would be glad to hear about it I’m sure.
This should be a safe space for a break from all that.
I agree. It’s nice to have a spot where it’s not as likely to devolve into snarky comments about the state of the world.
Anyone prick enough can point out how a comic can be political. And personally, I’d find pricks to be uncivil when a community isn’t meant for this type of thing.
