For me it's a rather simple calculation: if every contributor on planet would 
post as many articles on politics as e.g. you do, the planet would be simply 
overcrowded with it. 

Given we already have filters for languages, maybe there could be a filter for 
non-KDE stuff, so that people who to go planet.kde to read about, well, KDE, 
could filter all that stuff out.

Kind regards,

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.

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.

Dear Community,

I'm 100% sure this topic came up in the past due to the same blog, but I
can't
find it on the mailing list, so I assume it happened on forums or chat:

currently the top blog post on planet.kde.org is about voting for a
specific
political party. I understand that in these times there are many countries
with heated and important political debates, and some very important
global
topics as well. However, these already occupy all the news site.
Now if every blog appearing on the planet would target a political subject
that is very important to the blogger, planet.kde.org would be yet
another
political news/opinions feed.

If I want politics, I go to one of these. If I want to read about KDE, I
go to
planet.kde.org.

Please dear bloggers: there are categories, and you can choose which of
your
blogs do show up on the planet. I know that some topics are very important
to
you and obviously you are free to blog about them, but please keep the
planet.kde.org feed free of it, so it doesn't become a mess where it's
hard to
find the content people actually go there for.

Thanks and kind regards,

Christian
