A place to discuss politics and commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links
to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome, and
discussion of issues is encouraged! No self promotion please. The intent is for
this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current
political issues, news & events. Rule 1: civility, no insults or personal
attacks / be kind Rule 2: please do not use the community as a sounding board to
air grievances about other communities/mods. Please abide by Lemmy world’s terms
of service [https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#content-policy-rules-for-users]
(attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc), and please try to:
up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not whether you agree or
disagree.
Rules are still evolving, but right now I’m just aiming for a community for civil discourse …if such a thing is possible in politics. !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
thank you… I will consider that if this doesn’t go anywhere. Reddit kinda went downhill over the last decade… it use to be a reasonable place for discussion. I would have thought though that most people that migrated here from Reddit would be slightly more mature since they understand the evil of corporate greed but it seems like lately it’s 50/50 on comments now whether you’re going to get personally insulted for blinking wrong.
It’s not just Reddit. Civic debate has completely deteriorated with the rise of Social Media. It amplified everyone’s voices to the point that left drowning in a sea of noise.
