Why? Don’t you think it might turn many people off? This sends the message like “we are aware of policitcs on PieFed and we have strong opinions on a lot of topics here. You can speak, we let you speak. This site is all about politics”.
And it might end up being all about politics just like you wish. And I don’t think it’s a good idea. I think it’s better to create a chill space for people. Allowing politics disucssion of course, but this right here and what you just said sends “politics-first” kind of vibes.
If the instance being anti-authoritarian turns people off, good fucking riddance. If it makes someone feel the need to get all political and start attacking people, then good fucking riddance to them, too 🤷♂️
This place is based on politics. You are on a decentralised, open-source space with mamy people being various kinds of left.
Without politics this place will probably become hollow and eventually die.
People tend to ignore politics in their life, while the system we live in destroys us. It is a good idea to talk about politics (and do stuff about it).
