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 actually I think the real issue is that new users don't have curated follow lists and so go to the local/global timeline and have to mine it for things you are interested in. It may be a problem that works itself out as the platform matures.
@tetron Yes, and yes, it has to if it's ever going to become really mainstream.
