the admins made an announcement about something that IS happening, acknowledging that it's been noticed and will be cracked down on.
why is it a problem that they didn't list all the things that aren't happening?
the rest of the community seems to have taken the announce as being a case of "there's been a lot of bigotry lately, please stop or we will be muting people"
it's the most inoffensive, unproblematic announce possible and shows they care about marginalised ppl.
like you've said it personally offends you that they didn't say you can't make fun of right-wing politics but it's not what the post is even about. the post is asking ppl to stop saying bigoted 'jokes'. the 'sides' here are ppl being bigoted and ppl saying 'we'd rather you weren't bigoted toward us' and there can and should be no compromise when it comes go bigotry
this isn't a political dispute, it's a question of just not being bigoted which i can't see any reason to object to
