[Meta] Could we consider avoiding US election questions in this community? - eviltoast

Hello everyone,

This community regularly gets questions about the US elections.

This is an important topic, but if there is something that does not lack on Lemmy, it’s communities to discuss about politics:

And many others: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=politics

I am personally subscribed to this community to learn general things (the question about the viking funeral legal aspect is a good example), and US elections questions seems to always bring more political debate than knowledge sharing.

What do you all think?

See you in the comments.

    Genuine good faith questions about election rules, voting procedures, and candidate policies & positions. Are all things that should be encouraged regardless of country or region.

    Bad faith rants or indictments of candidates or parties posing as questions are annoying everywhere.

    Discouraging people from seeking information about elections is dangerous and morally dubious at best.
