No, one particular party's political propaganda (repeatedly) exceeds getting to know someone in KDE in my opinion.
Well, with that, if a KDE person does porn, or something else that is equally extreme, that could also be getting to know the person behind KDE. I think drawing a false overarching conclusion is wrong. I am calling particularly out on Brexit (and maybe political) propaganda. I am personally not against reading a cycling trip in Europe (just an example from the past) which is not so divisive as politics and Brexit in particular.
