I'm not active here as I should be, but no. For all the reasons you said, plus politics creeps into everything and I'm sick of hearing about it. It's nice to have "no politics" as a firm rule to immediately shut those down. All people want to post about is political crap, and I've blocked so much as it is.

Honestly, first I've seen this community.
The difficulty of not including politics is that nearly everything is political to some degree nowadays. Even what to see and where to go. E.g. I wouldn't recommend Florida for anyone or any Disney stuff. Frankly, I can't even recommend visiting under the current admin.
However, overt politics depends on your level of moderation willingness. It'd get real old real fast being asked why we're not standing up more. Why things are so shit when our country should be rich. Things that require a history course to fully explain (though you can usually blame Reagan and be at least partly right).
I mean, what else is there to ask about nowadays?
Yeah, why not. We're all gonna fucking die anyway.
maybe don't allow leading political questions? Like, if you want to know why our healthcare is so bad the answer is conservative politics, but you don't need to ask why conservatives are so bad to get an answer to that.
Goddamn celebrities needs privacy...
But I can't stop following them 🤣🤣🤣
Stop it
I'm the one they call "silly goober" 🤪
Only if you want honest conservatives to come here and get dog piled by all the liberal communists.
