For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Lemmy world politics is getting weird, are you up for starting this one up?

If you would like to become the moderator and bring the community to life, then I am happy to pass the baton to you. I have given you mod rights. Write the rules as you see fit and uncheck the "Only moderators can post" setting whenever you are ready to open up shop.

If you like, I can stay on as a secondary mod to help in the short term. I don't have the energy to actively moderate a politics community for the long term, though. Hopefully others will volunteer to join the mod team.

I'm not in love with modding, I hate it. I'd like to see there be a small chat area though so I'll bite the bullet. Thanks for starting it in the first place.

Edit: I'd love it if you stayed on as a support mod. That would help a lot.

Sorry, my previous comment was pushy. If you don't want to be a mod, that's okay too. I don't mean to foist the role upon you (or anyone else).

No worries. If I want to see it be open, I have to put up or shut up. I'll go ahead and take it over. It might not even go anywhere tbh.
