There are two rules currently written for "BestOfLemmy", and they are:

  1. Manual Curation -- If someone thinks its best-of material, it is allowed here.

  2. Newbie to Lemmy perspective -- Posts should be beneficial to new Lemmy users. I'll ban topics on a case-by-case basis that violate this (ex: deep server vs server feuds or other "community vs community drama" topics).

From #1: The poster clearly thinks its worth sharing, so it deserves a topic. That's sufficient. For #2: it is a very political season (with only days remaining before the USA's voting days), so I think most people looking into Lemmy here would forgive us for a politically charged topic like this.

I evaluate that this topic was posted in good faith, and that newbies would accept such a topic here. So that's why it stays.


From a "BestOf" perspective: my main problem with the post is that it links to a picture of the post, rather than the original topic and the original discussion that created this particular post. I might make a rule against image-posts (ie: do not make unnecessary screenshots. Prefer to link to various topics and other discussions on Lemmy. Screenshots are counterproductive to the greater Lemmy community).
