I’m new here, so this is a genuine question — not trying to stir things up.
I’m trying to understand how images like this fit within the community rules, especially the parts about ‘no misinformation’ and ‘good-faith arguments.’ It’s clearly political humor, but it also reads as a literal accusation list.
I haven’t seen any similar memes from the opposing perspective, so I’m wondering where the line is drawn. What qualifies as humor versus misinformation or bad faith here? I’m asking because I’d like to participate without accidentally breaking the rules myself.
Is someone suggesting this is ‘misinformation’?
No, they're asking what counts as misinformation and what counts as political humour so that they don't break the rules
Yeah, a bit, I’m honestly just trying to figure out if this community applies its own rules evenly. I actually agree with the rules as written, but if it turns out they’re enforced with a double standard, I’d probably rather just leave or block the community instead of fighting it.
