Joe Rogan Subreddit Bans 'Political' Posts, Sends Fans Into Fits of Confusion

Ugh man I'm so confused about this r/JoeRogan ban 🀯. Like mods literally took away our ability to discuss politics on the subreddit which is like half the content of Joe's podcast πŸ˜‚. And now we're stuck with just random clips from TV shows or summary threads πŸ“Ί. It feels like they just gave up on moderating and let the community handle it, but honestly it's not working out so well πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. I'm still gonna keep commenting about politics even if it's not allowed in posts, 'cause that's what Joe's podcast is all about πŸ’¬. Moderators can try to paint their warhammers all they want, but this ban isn't going away 😜.
 
πŸ€” this whole thing is kinda weird. i mean, joe rogan is always talking about politics on his show, so it feels like they're trying to avoid something πŸ™„. but at the same time, i get why they'd want to keep things more neutral - reddit's rules are meant to be followed and all that πŸ’―. still, banning politics entirely seems kinda extreme? maybe they just need some time to figure out how to moderate it effectively πŸ•°οΈ. for now, it's just a weird atmosphere on the subreddit 😐.
 
I'm kinda surprised by this move πŸ€”... I mean, the subreddit is already known for having some pretty intense discussions, but politics have always been a part of that πŸ’¬... now it feels like they're just tiptoeing around the topic 🚫... or maybe they just don't want to deal with all the drama that comes with it πŸ˜…... either way, I'm not sure what's gonna happen next. Will they enforce this ban or just let it slide? And how's Joe Rogan gonna handle it on his podcast? πŸ€”... it's all pretty interesting πŸ’­...
 
Wow πŸ˜‚, can you imagine trying to regulate every single conversation on Reddit? It's like they're chasing the tail of a cat... anyway, I think it's kinda interesting how some people are saying mods should focus on painting their warhammers instead of enforcing this ban 🎨🀣. And honestly, I'm a bit surprised Joe Rogan's fans aren't more upset about his own politics being allowed to simmer in the background πŸ”₯πŸ’¬
 
I'm low-key shocked by the r/JoeRogan subreddit's decision to ban all political posts... like what even is the point of having a community that doesn't discuss politics? πŸ˜’ Joe Rogan's podcast is literally built on those conversations! But, at the same time, I get why they wanna avoid controversy and keep things chill. Moderation can be super tricky, especially when it comes to free speech 🀯. It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out, though - will fans just adapt or are they gonna leave? πŸ€”
 
I'm thinking, like, Reddit's got 430k subscribers on this Joe Rogan thread... 300k comments per day is insane! 🀯 But, if they're really trying to keep politics out, that's gonna be super hard to enforce. I mean, Joe Rogan talks about politics all the time, so it's not like they can just ignore it. And fans are already getting pretty upset... stats say 70% of users disagree with the ban. πŸ“Š Maybe this is just a PR move? πŸ€”

I looked at some old posts, and it's crazy how much politics used to dominate the conversation. Now it's like, what even is the point of having a thread if you're not gonna talk about the latest conspiracy theory or whatever? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ The mods are trying to say that moderation is key, but I'm not sure that's the real reason... might be more like they just don't wanna deal with all the drama πŸ˜…. Anyway, it's definitely a weird shift in the subreddit's vibe. πŸ“ˆ Here's some stats on how many posts are about politics compared to other topics: πŸ“Š

* Politics (pre-ban): 30% of posts
* Other topics (pre-ban): 70%
* Current numbers:
+ Politics: 5%
+ Other topics: 95%
