If there is a community that has a mix of content you like, and content you don't like, you can make a post / reach out to the mods to set up something like that.

It would be harder to do on the instance level, and impossible across instances.

For your request specifically: It's very hard to define "politics" and so I would be against such a community rule. It would make a lot of unnecessary work for the mods and be annoying for users trying to post in a community they aren't familiar with.

Personally, if I was still seeing the content I don't like 85% of the time, I wouldn't be that much happier. I'd rather just block it and be done with it.

I love the idea

You can have January 23rd. 2026. Unless that's within 3 years of infrastructure week. We need to do branding on that then.

Might as well shut down the whole damn site like nickelodeon day of play

Just wait a month, you'll be good.

"Everything is political."

Missing the point.

What is the point?

The irony is that this post itself is political.

On an individual community this could work, sure, but on the whole website you would effectively be closing certain communities entirely.

Love the idea, but good luck. Federation has some downsides, one of them being it will be literally impossible to get consensus on this from all servers.

I think we should also have an only politics day so we hate it even more. Something like clockwork orange maybe.

This is a joke but it could be interesting.

People who complain about “politics” on this platform really show their whole ass by revealing they’re actually just right-wing nutjobs or Russian trolls. So which are you?

this is why i like to create lists (on social) or bookmark certain communities instead of subscribing or following so it can easily be put aside when i need a mental health day (which, being trans, is more often than not these days :|)
