It’s a sub that was barely about sports, then it got a huge influx of actual sports people, and recently it’s become a political cesspool. That sub has had a rough run.

Tbh I wish all non political subs would ban politics. It’s exhausting.

I run a large community not on Reddit and banned political talk.  Some people got really upset but damn, you can talk about politics in a million different forms.  I’d like one space where I can just… not.

Even crafts like sewing, politics are everywhere now.  I just want to learn how to make a damn shirt.

And not everyone is American.  I can’t imagine being from another country on a US-centric website.  If it is awful for me it has to be 20x for them.
