<html><head></head><body>If and when the Planet becomes majority political content, that's a problem we can acknowledge and deal with at that time I would say. As a community we're smart enough to understand that it's a different reality from an occasional post. Let's have that trust.<br><br>But let me say it again: We discussed this before. The hypothetical you've laid out is not a new one. You're not explaining how the situation is different now from back then and why we need to review the consensus we already had achieved, which was informed by other thoughts like having the Planet be a place where we can get to know each other and the cost of losing a venue for that. The Planet is not a corporate outlet or a news feed, it's a community aggregator.<br><br>Starting a thread because you don't like a particular personal blog post is not meeting the necessary bar.
