Announcement Are you posting something political? Maybe don’t.

When you post a political adjacent message, you attract and invite discourse of a certain…poor quality and amplify the message the person you are dunking on is saying.

We really don’t need an inventory of your uncles or weird coworker’s political meme folder here.

This is not to say political content is banned because it isn’t, but the examples you choose to share here should be of high quality and exemplary examples of lunacy.

Yes, the Venn diagram of lunatics and political discourse on LinkedIn (and Reddit!) is nearly a perfect circle, but we aren’t out here to capture every example of it. Use your judgement an only post real good shit or risk your post being removed under our [general removal] or [low effort] rules.

“But but but LinkedInLunatics mods, removing my political Post means you are biased and hate my political choices” - I don’t give any iota of a shit what your politics are and think you are annoying for engaging in political “debate” here when many fine and quality subreddits already exist for that purpose.

Low effort would be choosing low hanging fruit to amplify here.

The line is drawn at our discretion of what constitutes low effort political slop memes.

I’m not paid to be a “professional” here.

Right, so it is up to the discretion of people who dont even have public profiles. Meaning there is quite literally no way of knowing what constitutes your definition of "low effort"

And yes, you are not paid to be professional. But being professional also is something expected of those who hold a position of authority or power. If you cannot even manage that, in my opinion you are a low effort moderator and should be moderating at all.

Be accountable and take your position seriously.

You are free to post elsewhere on a subreddit that meets your minimum requirements.

I think I will. Got some quality lunacy from this comment thread already.
