One of the things I find least attractive about masto at this point is the treatment of all things political as a verboten subject. We just bombed another country. I have friends who are scared about getting deported. I also have friends who will lose their jobs due to funding cuts. I guess I'm supposed to ignore all that? Yes, it's depressing, but I worry if communities try to pretend this stuff doesn't exist they'll just let it happen.

@nirak I don't know what "masto" is, but if "octodon.social" bars politics I'll be leaving. Yes it hurts. And it's very important. Can not be ignored. People can follow me or not, as they wish.

@deafferret masto is short for mastodon in general. It seems like it is far from consensus but many people feel like politics deserves a content warning. This instance seems like other big instances in that regard. I disagree, and will proceed as normal.
