Should we ban all political posts in r/joerogan?
Hi all,
As we all know, Joe Rogan, the Joe Rogan Experience and r/joerogan have become increasingly political in the past couple years. It has always been our position to supervise the content here but not curate it. We treat this community like it belong to the subscribers and not the mod team. For the most part, that philosophy works very well but there have been times in the past when we have had to take measures to get us back on track (Covid, Roe v. Wade, Obama 2).
It is not that we want to ban a topic, but we need to make sure we protect our core subscriber’s wishes and not cater to outsiders who want to take advantage of our laissez fair free-speech policy. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in that spot yet again. It is not lost on us that the JRE has become a very politically minded podcast which makes this decision that much harder.
Before we implement another subject ban, we wanted to ask you what you think. What would you do? We will read all these comments and take them into consideration, as we navigate the future of r/joerogan.
