<div dir="ltr"><div>Planet KDE exists to allow KDE people to share information about
themselves as well as their KDE contributions. A hard Brexit will
affect KDE significantly which is why I include it here. The idea that talking about politics is dangerous or anti-social really scares me and is one reason why the populists have taken over so much of the political discussion currently. I often get people thanking me for my
political opinion blogs. If you don’t want to read it then don’t read
it.</div><div><br></div><div>The rule we came up with is "The majority of content in your blog should be about KDE and your work
on KDE. Blog posts about personal subjects are also encouraged since
Planet KDE is a chance to learn more about the developers behind KDE." I've never heard anyone suggest changes to that rule.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Jonathan</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 5 Dec 2019 at 11:53, Christian Loosli <<a href="mailto:kde@fuchsnet.ch">kde@fuchsnet.ch</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dear Community, <br>
<br>
I'm 100% sure this topic came up in the past due to the same blog, but I can't <br>
find it on the mailing list, so I assume it happened on forums or chat: <br>
<br>
currently the top blog post on <a href="http://planet.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">planet.kde.org</a> is about voting for a specific <br>
political party. I understand that in these times there are many countries <br>
with heated and important political debates, and some very important global <br>
topics as well. However, these already occupy all the news site. <br>
Now if every blog appearing on the planet would target a political subject <br>
that is very important to the blogger, <a href="http://planet.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">planet.kde.org</a> would be yet another <br>
political news/opinions feed. <br>
<br>
If I want politics, I go to one of these. If I want to read about KDE, I go to <br>
<a href="http://planet.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">planet.kde.org</a>. <br>
<br>
Please dear bloggers: there are categories, and you can choose which of your <br>
blogs do show up on the planet. I know that some topics are very important to <br>
you and obviously you are free to blog about them, but please keep the <br>
<a href="http://planet.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">planet.kde.org</a> feed free of it, so it doesn't become a mess where it's hard to <br>
find the content people actually go there for. <br>
<br>
Thanks and kind regards, <br>
<br>
Christian <br>
