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 agreed. being apolitical is a political act as well. those who want mastodon to be a refuge from politics can curate their feed accordingly.

@cje @forteller We need MORE but BETTER political engagement. If we had that, without people trying to hide from it, maybe we wouldn't be in the rotten situation we are now in. But I do get that you need a break sometimes. I sure do.

@Idoubtit @cje Yes, definitely! Maybe there should be a simple way to mute/unmute some specific hashtags, so that one could do it for just a short time, when one needs a time out :)
