The group would be for discussion of political topics but without labels. Contributors would not identify as on the left or the right. Simple discussions based on your personal thoughts on issues.
Posts would be both linked articles and your own self posts about an issue. There would be no cries of consider the source. You can post a link from the NY Times or RedState. I’m using those just as examples of what ends discussions because your political affiliation reflexively causes you not to believe a particular source. Something is either true or not and truth is not dependent on the source that raises the issue.
Name calling would not be tolerated. If you rudely call out another contributor you would be banned for one month.
We always talk about those disillusioned with reddit and trying to get them to try Lemmy. I don’t remember reddit ever having a successful group to discuss politics that wasn’t slanted.
For this to be worth the trouble we will need at least a beginning of at least 10 users that would contribute to the group. And at least a few willing to be mods of the group. The group would be No Labels Politics.
Respond if you are willing to contribute, be a mod or both. And I will set it up.
What was your experience of r/NeutralPolitics?
