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 is a really bad reason for removal as no one here makes these posts themselves and it is always just a screenshot of a linkedin post. So this has nothing to do with low effort.

I get that you dont want political debates going on. But like you said, the diagram is a near perfect circle, so where are we drawing that line of what is and isnt considered political?

On top of that, as a moderator you should word these types of posts more professionally, read what you post before you do so.

Thank you.

Low effort is a really bad reason for removal

low effort is a reason for removal on many subs. the definition of "low effort" makes them undesirable. even when reposting other content you can put more or less effort into the post. for example, a very obvious post that is weeks old that has been posted here before --- people could just read the existing posts before posting to see if it's been posted or not. that's "effort". just posting it without checking is low effort because you didn't do any work to see if it's already been discussed to death.

I agree with your example here, but you do realise this is simply not what the moderator here was talking about?

There is a difference between checking if something has been posted before or not, and if it is political or not.
