"No adult content" "No politics"

No thanks!

As a practical matter, is sex ed material adult content? Would discussion of LGBT rights (or people), or election results, or the site guidelines, or the Reddit protests be political?

What about arranging IRL protests, union strikes, war zone evacuations? OP's statement of "Politics rots people's brains" is a very head-in-the-sand statement and ignores one of the truly good and powerful aspects of social media.
Agreed! I would also argue that it's a deeply political statement.
