Ultimately - I don't think anyone should have an issue with us tagging communities that one could argue are political as politics. What could be debated is whether or not we should hide politics for default. It's always been our vision for politics to be opt-in, and that's unlikely to change without first trialing it on a bigger scale.
I don't post much here b/c it's gone from politics to 95% crazy fringe conspiracy theory nonsense. I actually agree with the frustration Ragnar_Danneskjold is expressing in his post. It's hard to have reasonable discussions or convince the unconvinced when the guy behind you is REEEEING just as loud as the people you oppose.
KiA2, now that I look at the front page, isn't necessarily as political (although we have a wide definition of politics to include social issues).
I would recommend considering us political, since we're quite involved in culture war stuff. Almost a political meta, as the culture war involves a lot of non-political fields (like gaming) becoming intentionally politicized.
While you're around: any word on allowing user-created communities? I have not seen any moderator-tier failures so far on the .win network, but I believe it is inevitable to occur and reliable countermeasures should be made.
We'll allow user-created communities eventually. As for how we'll handle moderators, it's not determined...
Reddit's mainly in the mess its in with regards to moderators because the company is on board with it. They could fix their situation overnight if they cared to.
I think Win's anti-politics stance will provide some protection against moderators with ulterior motives. If Reddit removed all politics + social issues from the feed today, a lot of their political operatives disguised as moderators would be out of a job.

Here's the more important conversation from that post: https://communities.win/c/Meta/p/12i443KZIx/x/c/4Dzdt0gYjZu

I wasn’t trying to be “misleading”, I was linking to the comment that mentioned KiA.
How are either of these subs “politics”? One is about conspiracy theories the other about shitty “journalism”
Kia is like 95% politics.

Do you feel silly agreeing with a shill who purged and deleted his account when exposed?
I'll refer to our conversation on conspiracies.win about that community: https://communities.win/p/12i443Lwsp/x/c/4Dzdt5HZ6Qu

I like this community, and I like seeing it on my all feed, despite having the politics topic disabled. However it does violate the vision.
As I've said, we'll be pushing the home feed - users should customize their experience by subscribing to communities.
