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]

Oh great, another American politics community. Just what the internet needs, another bunch of bickering infants
well it’s not only for US particularly. I just created it because there actually doesn’t exist a single community (at least on LW, I haven’t searched the entire fediverse) to discuss politics, US or global. /c/politics doesn’t currently allow top level posts for discussion or self posts because it is difficult to keep civility.
I’d like to try to curtail the personal attacks and bickering with some good rules and guidelines, but I’m not sure it will go anywhere.
Old reddit like <2014 use to be a reasonable place where people all along the political spectrum could discuss policy. That’s really no longer an option because most communities/moderators just don’t want to deal with that, unfortunately that only makes the problem worse…
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’

LW’s demographic is too close to the average Redditor. If you want to have an honest attempt at a community that is not going to be taken over by immature Americans in their twenties who will do nothing but yell at each other: please consider creating the community outside of lemmy.world.
Use a more neutral instance (I’d recommend https://discuss.online) and be more strict about standards of quality discussion. Then you might have something interesting. Otherwise you will just end up with yet-another cesspool.
thank you… I will consider that if this doesn’t go anywhere. Reddit kinda went downhill over the last decade… it use to be a reasonable place for discussion. I would have thought though that most people that migrated here from Reddit would be slightly more mature since they understand the evil of corporate greed but it seems like lately it’s 50/50 on comments now whether you’re going to get personally insulted for blinking wrong.

It’s not just Reddit. Civic debate has completely deteriorated with the rise of Social Media. It amplified everyone’s voices to the point that left drowning in a sea of noise.

thank you. I can’t update the main link to that for some reason but added it in the comment box.
