A while ago we decided on rule 2 where the community overwhelmingly voted to ban political posts. There are already 50+ other communities where people can discuss politics but the past few days !pics has had many low-effort politics posts which is overshadowing the entire point of a pics community. Where are the mods?

    Then let’s create another one without any politics [email protected], or lemmy.cafe for instance), and let’s start posting pictures of protests, armed conflict, wars happening anywhere in the world in this one, everyday.

    Not everybody on Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin is a US citizen. Europe had a few important political events recently, nobody posted about them here to respect that rule.

      Probably not useful to you, but I’ve been using the pics that I deem political as a way to vet the accounts that want to politicize everything and I block them.

      Keep the (good, nonpolitical) pics coming!
