There have been quite a few posts in the Australia community about the upcoming referendum and naturally invite a variety of views and (mostly) interesting conversation.
Since Lemmy has nothing equivalent to post ‘flairs’ at this stage I think it would be helpful to have a community where people can discuss, ask questions about, share news about or share their views on the proposed constitutional amendment. The dedicated community should be changed to only allow moderators to post after the referendum is completed.
I’d rather leave political discussions within the generic political community until such time as the volume of comments warrants a seperate community. I’m also not in favour of temporary communities.
I can see that most of the volume in /c/australianpolitics right now is links to articles. Perhaps to encourage discussion we should limit news links to /c/news (which I’ve just created). Leaving the politics community for human discussion.
I like both these ideas
