TL;DR: Let’s try to be less interesting!
Hello from your mod team (seems like just me, if you’re interested in being a mod ping me)!
I’ve noticed that things have been getting pretty interesting around here lately and we need to tone that back a little. The goal of this community is to share things that aren’t particularly interesting that you come across.
Yes, “interesting” is very subjective, but I think we need to go back to our roots and consider what brought us all here… we wanted to be mildly interested.
Also, this isn’t a place for politics. There are many other communities for that, let’s keep it there.
Here are a couple great examples of what I feel we should strive for:

That’s all for now, thanks for your support and understanding.
Maybe we could start c/reasonablyinteresting for everything too interesting to post here
