I agree and disagree with different parts of what you’re saying. It comes down to context really.
Going to /c/Technology, and posting about politics can be still be valid. For example, I read a headline that trump is using AI to create large amounts of new bills to overwhelm our political system which is intentionally designed to work at a snails pace. I haven’t read the article, but if I’m understanding right, it’s both a tech story, and a political story. It could aldo be posted in FuckAI.
But if someone posted something in /c/Technology where the story was Bernie Sanders supports bill to cancel student debt, that’s not a tech story.
But as seen before, there are some things that can fit into multiple communities of different types.
I just base it on “is there a discussion that can be had on our topic based on our community?”. If yes, and it’s not something that causes issues, let it roll.
I agree with the general spirit of what you’re saying, but not the tone, if that makes sense. I just feel it’s a case of let some leniency through, for the sake of not gatekeeping a small growing platform. Even maybe let some smaller infractions slide if it’s not actually hurting anyone.
Yeah, I just threw some examples about why the moderation is still needed even if the posts aren’t malicious and gave a bad example there. It’s just that I see a lot of posts with big traction in communities where the content doesn’t fit even if you stretch it so I shared my perspective on why this is an issue.
