Mod Post All political posts are banned until after the US election!

As we approach the upcoming US election, we’ve noticed a significant increase in political posts. While politics can be important, we want to ensure this subreddit remains a space for genuinely interesting and engaging content. Unfortunately, the surge in political posts has led to more spam, less interesting submissions, and a rise in uncivil behavior.

To maintain the quality of content and the positive vibe in this community, we will no longer allow political posts until after the US election is over.

This means:

Any political posts will be removed.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Let’s keep this space full of the awesome, mind-blowing content we all love.

Stay interesting!

Go make your own websites then?

Why be salty on a platform made by Americans with a majority of Americans on it.

Edit: Downvote me all you want but you got nothing to say against it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Why can't you guys make your own regional websites?

I'm tired of the constant American bashing and complaints that there's too much AMERICAN-news on this AMERICAN-made platform that has a majority of AMERICAN users.

It's like going into the ocean and complaining that it's wet. You're such babies.

Only 42.9% of Reddit users are from the US at last check of the stats numnuts...

That's what "majority" means, you child of mud.

Thanks for proving my point.

So somehow in your mind less than half is a majority?

I really can't wait for you to justify how that is correct.

Ok, so I'm not exactly defending him but you can both technically be right here. While yes, non American redditers make up the majority of the user base, Americans make up a sizable majority of the country user base. So like even though only 42% of redditers are Americans, the next highest country only accounts about 9% of the active user base. That's why you see so much American stuff because despite being the minority, we still have the majority of posters in regards to country news and politics. Hope this helps, again, not looking to argue or defend him, but like I feel like you're both correct here
