Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.

MODERATORS
Group think is bad. Larger the group the lower the IQ.
Does that count here and on Reddit? Although I'll say here on Lemmy, folks are much more open to actual dialogue than on Reddit.
I mean yeah. At least Lemmy instances aren't site banning people for upvoting the wrong thing. Or communities using bots to autoban anyone who has ever posted to certain communities. Or communities banning anyone who isn't fully on board with the "correct" views about all things at all times.
Turns out not reinforcing a space as an echo chamber reduces the degree to which it is an echo chamber, who would have thought?
I mean it has the same incentives. Try to ask something that goes against the group ethos and you'll get downvoted to hell pretty quickly. Not quite as bad as Reddit I'll agree.
