I just want to post a reminder that this is the general memes community, and we’d prefer for political memes to be directed to c/political_memes.

I don’t want to remove posts that already have conversations going (unless they’re getting out of hand) because I know there’s a lot to talk about, but Rule 2 will be enforced more strictly moving forward.

Thanks, TPM

    Thank you for this. I know some people won’t appreciate it but not every community needs to be a full time political outlet.

    It’s amazing how many people are raging about the rules of a couple communities about no politics when I can count dozens of active communities who are political based.

    Everything’s over. I’m mentally drained. I just want to zone out and look at memes.

      It’s a good rule of thumb for media, but I don’t care for it’s use as a justification for constantly spamming low effort political memes like on r/adviceanimals. Winding yourself up about things you can’t control doesn’t make the world better, it just fucks up your mental health. There are no shortage of political communities to use on this site.
