So, can someone explain to me why people who don't like posts about politics can't just not follow people who post about politics?
Genuine question. Because I do feel that the stakes are society itself, and the life or death of millions, and I do feel that OStatus/GNU Social could and should play an important role in this.
A civil discussion on this would be appreciated.
@forteller Personally, I don't mind. But I can see that people might get overwhelmed with all the 'bad' news in the world e.g., Trump administration, Russia news, terrorist goings on etc. etc.. It's exhausting.
@Jack Absolutely! But then, again, just don't follow the people who constantly toots about those things, don't tell everyone what to do (except for don't harass people and don't be a nazi, ofc ;))
@forteller Hah! Yes, I agree. I think mostly people enjoy complaining. Also the problem that platforms like these encourage sharing of opinions... but not everything needs an opinion or 'thought piece'. It'll never be perfect :-)
