PSA to please not censor the names of politicians or use coy allusions when talking about politics and world news. Some people have filters that you are bypassing by doing this. *I* have filters that you are bypassing. And before anyone tries to get snide, it isn’t because I’m “not political” or I have my head in the sand: it’s because I don’t use social media for news or politics. I am extremely aware of what is happening in the world and I need to maintain the energy to fight it.
I am taking on the responsibility of curating my feed by using the tools available to me, so the least you can do is ensure those tools *work*.
I’m not even asking people to use CWs here, I’m literally just asking that you use normal human language that filters will pick up so that I can keep using this site. I don’t get my news from here. I don’t want to get my news from here. I don’t want to discuss the news here. I spend a certain amount of time a day on awareness and political activities and outside of that time I need to be really careful what I put into my fucking brain so I don’t burn out completely.
@astronomerritt IMO unfollowing folks that repost distressing stuff to the TL is the only safe way to go. 🤷
