Lemmy World Videos check-in: Political Videos - Keep them or not? (self.videos)

About a year ago this community mentioned to the mods that, unlike with Reddit’s r/videos, community, they wanted to allow political videos.

A lot has changed in the world over the past 12 months, and political videos generate a big chunk of reports, so we wanted to check in with everyone here about political content.

Do you still want to see politics here, or should we limit that content to a separate political videos community like c/memes does? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Update:

Looks like most of you would prefer us to separate the content. We’ll start to work to update the rules!

The downside of allowing them is that the community may get flooded with USpol posts that are as of now hard to filter on Lemmy. So I vote to keep them out. However, to stop getting all those reports on what right now are considered unwritten rule violations (at least by some of the community) I strongly suggest to make more explicit rule on this in the sidebar.
