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.
Rules shmules
You share a community, and get a solid 8 downvotes with people coming into your community to downvote the content you posted in the community you made and shared.
Thank God I have no other communities to share because genuinely what the hell. Why bother sharing a community you made if people that clearly aren’t interested in what you’re sharing only come in to downvote content they know doesn’t appeal to them?
You could get some of the mods from news to come here and moderate civility. It is their favorite thing in the world to do. They don’t have any other hobbies or interests besides deleting comments for civility all of the time. Maximum civility moderation efficiency. They are the best mods, the greatest mods, there have never been better mods than these crack elite super elite mods.
Civility is the new pretext for punishing wrong think?
