Until the rule is removed, any new posts about US politics will be removed.

    We just had probably the most consequential election of our life and you want to ban discussion? Jeezus.

      This is an ask community, not a politics community. Not everything revolves around America

        … And now you can’t ask anything about politics. There’s was doubtless going to be political questions to ask, and politic adjacent (where do I move) that will all be removed.

        And you can’t even ask about effects on the world either! Gaza, Ukraine, NATO, trade, tariffs, etc. Are those going to be removed? All valid questions, but sounds political to me.

        Like way to shut down shit tons of conversation.

          THIS ISN’T A DISCUSSION COMMUNITY! IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS. MOST POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS AREN’T OPEN ENDED.

            Seriously? You’re this pedantic on the word discussion? Ok I will amend my first comment to:

            We just had probably the most consequential election of our life and you want to ban discussionquestions and the resulting discussion in the comments?

            Jeez all over again.

        How does that disqualify US political questions from being posted here, then?

        It isn’t called ‘ask lemmy about anything other than politics’.

        Not American, but can’t we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.
