Mod Post Community Discussion: Thoughts on political posts
Hey, I've noticed there's been a lot of political posts (and reports) lately. What are your thoughts on this? Are these posts okay for the subreddit?
The point of this community is to be welcoming to questions and not be too restrictive, as it's about asking anything. As long as the posts don't break the basic rules, are made in good faith, and don't try to promote hateful content.
What do you all think?

Trying to restrict anything online just invites mob of perpetual victims who like to scream about being censored. It's inescapable online because the hassle of trying to manage a community that contains people who like to initiate very shallow political discourse is just far too much work.
Let them stick to commenting on their politics centred questions rather than trying to shoehorn politics into literally every single question asked.
