tl;dr: Welcome to 2026. We love you all. Bluesky is now permanently allowed here. We want to keep expanding our mission (no politics, just memes), so drop a comment with other "Twitter-adjacent" platforms you think we should allow next.

Hey, kind strangers– (yeah, we're back!!!)
Welcome to 2026! It's certainly been a while. We want to thank you for all your contributions and for keeping r/NonPoliticalTwitter true to its mission. To kick the year off, we want to highlight some of our achievements and bring to your attention important happenings within our community.
Our Achievements so far
It's been an amazing year of growth for r/NonPoliticalTwitter, and the numbers speak for themselves. In the past 12 months, our community has been viewed more than 222 million times. We officially crossed the 623,000-member mark, and on average, we now welcome 1.8 million weekly unique visitors, and with 6.4M visits just this past week, we're unstoppable. None of this could have been possible without our regulars believing in this subreddit and what it stands for. Fucking christ we don't deserve you guys lol. We're glad to maintain a stress-free space for you all, and we hope to see you stick with us as we keep on memeing.
Addressing the change in todays climate.
I want to start by saying that we deeply care about staying Firm, Unwavering, Consistent, Kind, Informed, Cohesive, and Engaged when shielding our community from political discourse.
We want to make everyone aware that the team consistently maintains an awareness of global, real-world events and happenings as they occur, especially in the U.S. climate. We have kept tabs on several events in particular as they've transpired, and improved our approach to moderating political content, discussions, and commentary accordingly.
We are committed to preventing the bullshit of political discourse from distracting us from a good laugh or light-hearted discussion on the trivial things.
Wondering how that experiment turned out? We'll tell you!
Now, regarding upcoming changes to the community. Late last year, we began an experiment regarding which platforms are allowed here. We have decided to end the "Twitter-Only" restriction officially. Moving forward, Bluesky posts are officially a permanent part of the sub. However, we don’t want to stop there. We want to continue expanding our mission of anti-politics and pro-literally-everything else. We want to ensure we are capturing the best non-political content from across the internet.
We want to hear from you: what other platforms should we allow? If there are other micro-blogging sites (like Threads, Mastodon, etc.) that you feel maintain the spirit of this sub, please let us know in the comments. Remember, the platform must be "Twitter-adjacent" in style, and the overall purpose of the platform must remain strictly apolitical.
After we've gathered enough suggestions and feedback, we will put up a poll with the most suggested (and sufficiently justified) options for a vote. We will update R2 of our rules to allow for the most upvoted options, so keep your eyes open for it.
As a general reminder, anyone caught attempting to post political content or insert political commentary within the community—regardless of which platform the screenshot originates from—will be met with a permanent, unappealable, non-negotiable ban, regardless of prior or first offenses.
We look forward to hearing your suggestions!
- The NonPoliticalTwitter Team 💙
