A few weeks ago, Lemmy World’s Videos community took a vote and decided to create a sister community for political videos.
When you get a chance, check out !politicalvideos@lemmy.world
Are music videos where the song talks about political issues really cool for that community?
I got one bounced from /videos and they told me to post it there, and y’all let it stay up.
It didn’t seem like a good fit, or get a single upvote, but just curious how political the divide is between the two communities.
Edit:
Talib Kweli - We Outside
I don’t think that was me that pulled it, but after listening to the song, which is dope, I probably would’ve made the same call.
Basically anything that spends a significant portion of time focusing on a politician, public policy, or geopolitics, we’re asking those to be posted to /polticialvideos. This video might have also been getting rule violation reports from the community.
Given the current wars and recent elections, political videos were becoming a large part of LW videos content. I personally have no problem with it, and I like political videos, but a lot of people in the community kept asking us to bifurcate.
We’re trying our best to do what the community asked us to do. It’s definitely an imperfect and subjective process.
Oh yeah. I wasn’t trying to complain.
The line between is just a little blurry and the sub rules don’t clarify on the sidebar, so when I saw the post I figured I’d ask.
Thanks for clarifying, I’ve been hesitant to post to either because I wasn’t sure where the line was.
Good call out. We definitely need to clarify what is “political” more than what is there now.
