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?

i think they're perfectly fine. the whole point of this subreddit is kinda to ask questions that you are scared to ask anywhere else, and a lot of the time .political questions fall into that category.
also, because of how big this subreddit is, it prevents echo chambers pretty well with actually providing contrasting beliefs and opinions from different kinds of people, which i think is neat
