!politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world

Context: https://lemmy.world/c/politics

As a consequence, !asklemmy@lemmy.world mods got a lot of resentment from people wanting to discuss the elections on that community, when they decided to temporarily ban the topic as well: https://lemmy.world/post/21696356

Wait. I'm confused now. Is your original post you talking about /r/politics on reddit or /c/politics on lemmy.world?

I thought you were speaking about politics communities in general, be it Lemmy or Reddit.

If you were focusing on !politics@lemmy.world, then that's what the point the meme is making: due to the exceptional circumstances, they could have allowed self-posts. Or maybe just created a megathread.

If you look at the modlog, there are plenty of self posts which got removed: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1252?page=1&actionType=ModRemovePost

Hopefully people will find !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world to repost those there

No I was talking about !politics@lemmy.world and there rule not allowing self posts, but I see where you're coming from.

Yeah I agree, a mega-thread would have been a good idea. That being said things are heated now and it could be simply because they don't want to deal with all the nasty comments that are bound to pop up. !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world is a good alternative. It's small enough where the trolls won't bother, for the most part.
