[Meta] Can we ban political posts?

This community is for photography and interesting images. This isn't the place for shitposts about trump overshadowing quality posts. There's already 10 other communities people can go to for that.

!politicalhumor@lemmy.ml

!politicalmemes@lemmy.world

!lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

!memes@lemmy.ml

And more. Can we ban these low effort political posts and go back to having a decent community? Thanks.

Now that I am back available, all the duplicates have been removed, the first posting of the photo is locked. I will see if I can make a poll when I am off mobile to get a community consensus on if we want to ban all political pictures. I don’t have a preference one way or the other, but this is about what the community wants to do. We don’t generally get a lot of political posts anyways outside of this special event.

If you are curious as to what gets done behind the scenes, go to the sidebar, scroll to the bottom near the mod list and select “mod log”. This shows every action a mod as taken, who has taken it (mods can only see which mod did which action it seems), and who or what it was against.
