This is ridiculous fear-mongering, u/Graphenium is being intentionally misleading.
It's always been the policy for politics to be opt-in, when browsing via communities.win. In fact, until two weeks ago, none of the sites with their own domains were included on the front page at all.
Two weeks ago, we added the three "topics" of Politics, NSFW, and Other for the front page. By default, users have the Politics topic disabled.
This was the first time any of the sites with standalone domains were featured on the front page, and we were clear that politically focused communities would be tagged as political communities.
Anything that one could reasonable argue is politics should be tagged as politics based on our current plan.
Let's look at the top 10 posts here currently.

It's not a bad thing that this community is political. I love this community. I think it's hard to argue that it shouldn't be tagged as politics, though.
POL'ITICS, noun - "the science of government; that part of ethics which consists in the regulation and government, for the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity".
A forum represents the jurisdiction over its participants; the moderators the law enforcement. If one is under control by others; all is political. The opt-in aka consent by free will; came before the forum; the internet; the PC etc.
What now is called opt-in represents a deception to cover up the chain of command already established. Just like up/down voting, and division into sub-forums, this all represents a suggested substitute choice.

This policy has not been at all swayed by any users, we have remained consistent on it.
Politics is opt-in.
Huh so you guys can rapidly show up to squelch dissent but can’t answer any of my questions.
Did y’all delete ragnars account or was he so embarrassed by my exposing his shilling, or had his account served its purposes?

What the fuck? Vaccines are “politics” now? ...Or do you just not want “anti-vaxx science denialism” on the front page?

COVID and the vaccine have obviously been politicised.
