If some other country had a historic election, I would HOPE to see open dialog spread in places like this for people to express themselves. Why ban an internationally relevant discussion when people have the choice to be members of the community. How about - if you don't like it, you can leave.

But there are places for the discussion to be made. Lemmy as a whole did not ban the elections discussion, just this one specific sub. In fact, you'll see basically every single sub of Lemmy discussing it.

This is a temporary rule for 1 single community.

How about - if you don't like it, you can leave.

The irony in this sentence…
