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!

Where's the line of political and non-political videos?

[–] Ghostalmedia 1 points 3 weeks ago

We’ve yet to define that. That said, the big reason for the move is because of community complaints around content regarding elections, political candidates, systems of government, foreign policy, etc.
