People need to accept that other people want some places that are not full of american politics. We are getting bombarded with it everywhere and it is totally fine when the mods of /c/cuteanimalpictures just want to provide a community for cute animal pictures and are deleting your american politics stuff.

Seems perfectly reasonable. What's the issue?

The one annoyed person had 10 upvotes of users agreeing with them, and for those 10 people the community rules are very explicit.

Mods here at lemmy and any other platform are unpaid volunteers who donate their time. Sometimes communities have stupid rules but you can't be mad going to a place, clearly breaking the rules, and then having the post removed. Well you could be mad but it's an entirely self manufactured problem. And if you want a politics-OK showerthought community then you could try discussing the rule in the existing community, check other showerthought communities, or create your own community.

But this is why i try to read community rules before posting. Like this community i had never heard of before so checked the sidebar before commenting. Helps head off problems.

Pick your battles, mate

Eh make your own community or hell even whole instance with like blackjack and politics then? These guys had established rules for theirs specifically forbidding politics.

You're walking into a Wendy's and outraged they're not serving funnel cakes.

They're saying in actually a very nice way "Sir, we like funnel cakes too but this is a Wendy's and we don't serve funnel cake here"

I don't get where the indignation is coming from.
