pointless. the entire lemmy will be on fire for a month or so.

I've blocked all US political communities. I've blocked 20+ users who posted US political content in other communities. When I now filter by most popular in the last 24h, it's only US election outcome content.

Seems like a good reason to have this kind of rules

Also I posted in !newcommunities@lemmy.world a thread for non political communities
