Additionally, political topics outside of CE will be banned.
Great news!For whom though?
Everyone, since talking about politics makes people unhappier.Nobody is forcing you to talk about politics
Well holy shit the politics topic was closed by admin or the TC?Admin. TC has to wait a few minutes of no new posts. At least that's how it used to be.
Because I never thought that change would be instant
I've felt this board was on borrowed time for a while now, but now I'm scared it really will just poof away one day.
And everyone will scatter and that will be it.
Just how bad this is will depend on what is considered "politics". Like, conservatives try their hardest to make anything about non-cis-white-hetero men to be political, so are topics about LGBTQ news gonna be deemed political and thus banned?They made a pro-trans post at the same time, so that's definitely not political.

There are some subreddits I used that have been banning all political posts for years now, and they got infinitely better when they implemented that.Depends on which subreddits you are talking about, I don't think it's fair to compare.
This is a good thing. Too often topics get derailed with politics posting. There are some subreddits I used that have been banning all political posts for years now, and they got infinitely better when they implemented that.
Gay people can get married now and SCOTUS decided years ago they have equal rights,
at the risk of accidentally saying something political, I feel I need to point out that we now live in a country with a conservative-leaning Supreme Court that very well could reverse rulings regarding gay marriage. Its still a political issue in this country whether or not any of us here would like for it to be.Indeed, a SCOTUS where justices on the court have publicly and repeatedly stated a desire to reverse those rulings.
Clearly we all need to make topic ranking hot video game characters while we still canIs this the final nail in the coffin for Best Ass in Gaming?
What about discussing the politics of a given video game? Do we just have to shut down all discussion of, say, Metal Gear Solid or Disco Elysium?DIOS MIO, A POLITICAL DISCUSSION
I was gonna respond to KP in the now closed topic, but this is the obvious unfortunate side effect of a decision I largely agree with.
However, we have moderators for a reason -- to clean anything up if someone decides to be a jackass. Gay people can get married now and SCOTUS decided years ago they have equal rights, so this is not some debatable point and anyone who thinks otherwise isn't worth the effort to talk to.
I dont know what post youre talking about.
I'm taking them being posted at the same time as a sign that talking about being trans isn't political, which is hopefully the case.Until Fandom says it is.
