Reddit has over 65 political groups to choose from so they banned it from r/askreddit cuz it didnt belong there silly not cuz of its content or theme

@TryingtoLava Oh I know that silly, hence the "Lol" and the "Embarrassing and Funny" category 🤭.

SW-User
Nah. Many won't agree, but political posts keep this place alive and interesting. Otherwise it's the same questions and responses just going in circles for days on end.
SubstantialKick · 36-40, M
@SW-User Yeah, I guess I can agree with you on that.

Yes or at least fix it. I don’t have politics and others stuff in my group but it still shows up In my feed. Most of the time I scroll past the politics

All sites should put a permanent ban on political posts.

SW-User
lol. SW would lose a big piece of their user base if they did that. Then they'd be stuck with all the diaper and spanking people.

SW-User
@SW-User lol, yeah that too.

It's only for that specific subreddit I would assume, because without political posts Reddit would die as well.
@Elessar im in over 100 groups none political so thats not true at alllll
Elessar · 26-30, M
@TryingtoLava Oh I know they exist, but at least the front page (that should represent where the most traffic goes?) political posts are prevalent.
@Elessar no its not hahah look rn and count how many! im on it alot of the day

To answer the question, no. And I’m curious to know what reason Reddit gave for doing so. 🤔
Edit: I googled it, they banned the pro-Trump subreddit for hate speech. The posters were breaking rules about harassing people and making personal attacks.

@bijouxbroussard Basically the mod of the subreddit said it was because people just can't be civil 🤷♂️.

@SubstantialKick Yes. I imagine as we get closer to the election (and possibly for some time afterwards) things may be tense here, too. I already have a lot of hardcore “Trumpies” blocked.

@bijouxbroussard I am glad that I work Mon-Fri so now I am on here a bit less.

Don't be fooled by my screen name (it's only a TV character), I'd rather avoid political posts myself.

SW-User
If SW did that, it'd be even more dead here.
VicSpanner · 56-60, M
@SW-User It wouldn't, it would be better because all those normal people who left because the site was overrun with political nonsense posts would all come back.
