This is an ask community, not a politics community. Not everything revolves around America

How does that disqualify US political questions from being posted here, then?

Not American, but can't we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.

... And now you can't ask anything about politics. There's was doubtless going to be political questions to ask, and politic adjacent (where do I move) that will all be removed.

And you can't even ask about effects on the world either! Gaza, Ukraine, NATO, trade, tariffs, etc. Are those going to be removed? All valid questions, but sounds political to me.

Like way to shut down shit tons of conversation.

It isn't called 'ask lemmy about anything other than politics'.
