You'd be surprised. Some groups are a real pita when you want to find a pattern and have to weed through pages of political bs.ReadingRainbow wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 8:51 pm Why would Politics be on a knitting board to begin with?
Knit one , purl one... give me patterns , not your opinions on immigration...
Idk maybe a meetup group for crocheting would be better? Meetup.com? I have one group where politics might come up but at least we're not going to kill each other over it. All my rest discuss writing or kayaking, what have you. They focus on why they're there, not politics.jas wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 9:06 pmYou'd be surprised.

A cocoon to protect themselves?
I'd have respected a decision had they said no political discussions allowed. .Ledina60 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 11:09 pmA cocoon to protect themselves?
WTF?
A group devoted to knitting and crochet doesn’t need to go” off topic” to discuss politics!
It’s smart.
If they object to white supremacy, then they’re to be admired . You do know that’s why they object to posts about politics, right?

The fact they took a "side" clearly states which way they lean. We can talk about the democrats all day long.MonarchMom wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 8:04 pm
Why do you assume Ravelry is a Democratic site? It's been around for decades, and has had many political threads over the years.
No one is banned from using the site. They just made a decision about this POTUS at this time, based on current events.
They took a position after 2.5 years of the administration being in the WH and seeing the actions taken, not based on a "side" or a political party. If that was the case it would have happened at inauguration - not years later. They made it clear it was about his support of racist remarks and actions.
It is a privately held company and they can set the user agreement as they choose.
I have left a few groups because of that. Now I mostly use Repeat Crafter Me on Facebook as my main group and a couple of other smaller groups.jas wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 9:06 pmYou'd be surprised.

This is what you do when you know you can't win on facts. Silence the opposition.KnotaDinghy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 11:24 pmAgree to disagree.MonarchMom wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 8:25 pmAgree to disagree.

I was a member until they took a position in January 2017 - not 2.5 years into the administration. They flooded the site with p**sy Hats. Now the ban chatter and patterns about the sitting President. Patterns. They banned patterns.
But you can still go help yourself to as many p**sy hat patterns as you could ever want.
They are private but clearly biased.
