Political discussion and commentary - Lemmy.World

A place to discuss politics and commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome, and discussion of issues is encouraged! No self promotion please. The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events. Rule 1: civility, no insults or personal attacks / be kind Please abide by Lemmy world’s terms of service [https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#content-policy-rules-for-users] (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc), and up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not whether you agree or disagree.

Rules are still evolving, but right now I’m just aiming for a community for civil discourse …if such a thing is possible in politics. [email protected]

if you have a global icon/banner suggestion I’m open for it. Honestly I just had a hard time finding something that represented ‘general poltics’

Formatting

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
