  • Regarding politics in user profiles:
  • I think the contents of the user profile should be relevant: that is, describe who you are, what you do, what you like etc. If it's _relevant_ that you are for example member of some party, by all means include that information in the user profile if you like.
  • What isn't relevant in your profile however, is blatant propaganda: "The elephant party destroys porcelain stores across the country. Vote for x!" etc. The user profile is not there for the purpose of running political campaigns and it's not the mission of Codidact to act as a medium for such.
