[Meta] Resolving the political memes argument

There have been quite a few comments and posts arguing about political memes and whether they belong here. I'm not exactly in any position of authority, but hopefully I can do something about this.

Which option do y'all think is best?

  1. People who want to post political memes do so in !politicalmemes instead.
  2. People who don't want to see political memes subscribe to !memes instead, which doesn't allow politics.
  3. Nothing changes.

I'm not asking for a rule to be made, I'm just asking for the general consensus. I'm hoping that this will help to raise awareness of those other communities, so that if people favor option 1, more political meme posters can move there, and if people favor option 2, more people who don't want politics can move there. And then I can also know whether to keep watching this community or move.

(Please don't downvote this post for complaining about political memes, because if it gets seen, it tells the complainers where they can go to avoid political memes, and then they'll be out of your hair.)

I like 3. I like both the political memes and the memes about people tired of political memes. Thanks for the community recommendations!

I'd prefer option 2.

Option 1 and 2 are actually the same rule didn't get the fact there was an instance change, ignore me.

Not really. Option 1 is the political memes moving, option 2 is the complainers moving.

No, it's not. memes is the community we are currently in. Subscribing to memes is not "moving".

Sorry, missed the fact that there was an instance change in option 2
