Since we dont rely on ads we rely on sharing the plataform in other social media and when someone suggests Lemmy they always comment that they do not like the controversy there. Ban politics and Lemmy will grow faster

    Besides, we already had this discussion with content warnings on Mastodon: what’s political? Some people coming from a position of privilege decided to throw a tantrum because Black people and LGBTQ people talking about their daily lives is “political”. In practice people use the world political to describe what they don’t feel comfortable with and shut it down. Which leads to problem number 2, a society can only thrive if we are willing to discuss public issues (i.e. politics), if this doesn’t happens the society stagnates and drifts into some shape of aristocracy or oligarchy at best and an autocracy at worst.
