I don't see it either, but some users literally called the rule "censorship"
Feel free to discuss it on !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/c/politicaldiscussion
I thought you were speaking about politics communities in general, be it Lemmy or Reddit.
If you were focusing on !politics@lemmy.world, then that's what the point the meme is making: due to the exceptional circumstances, they could have allowed self-posts. Or maybe just created a megathread.
If you look at the modlog, there are plenty of self posts which got removed: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1252?page=1&actionType=ModRemovePost
Hopefully people will find !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world to repost those there
It's still weird to me that there is no US instance. LW and lemm.ee are hosted in Europe, SJW and lemmy.ca in Canada, lemmy.ml and hexbear use a European datacenter.
I mean there is midwest.social and dubvee, but we could have expected a large US instance to have emerged by now.
The closest is probably https://lemmy.today/, but only has 194 users per month.
I live in Europe. The biggest issue for immigration is usually the local language, which varies a lot, with German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, etc.
The politics community always had those rules though.
Interesting, I wasn't aware. There seems like there were still megathread discussions: https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1e8sabh/megathread_president_biden_announces_that_he_will/
Oh, I know, I'm against overcentralization on LW.

Good to know! You could maybe consider adding that in the OP, so that people looking for self-posts would know where to go
How are political communities tiny when they are 2 of the 6 most active communities on Lemmy?
To be honest, the issue is mostly about !politics@lemmy.world banning self posts (and thus people having to find alternatives such as !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world ) rather than the mods of !asklemmy@lemmy.world
Good luck!
