I would love to sometimes filter out any and all political posts, I think having this enabled as default on some instances would also be preferred by some users.
I’m a software dev, if it doesn’t require a lot of work I’m happy to make a Pull Request for this feature, but do people want this? Is there anyone I should maybe talk to before starting, or anything I should know?
Edit: I realise it won’t filter out ALL political posts, but even if it only catches half of the stuff, it could make the difference between being flooded with Trump/Musk news and not.
Some new users might turn away before knowing the can set filters etc. (which also aren’t perfect)
ignores politics
“Hey, how’d I end up in this gulag?”
I understand your frustration, but ignoring it is dangerous.
looks out their window at explicit fascism at a global high point unmatched in any period of history considering how unopposed it is
Oh gosh what if communists put me in jail for being a nazi 😱
Anyway, good for you not ignoring politics I suppose
Politically-engaged people were far more likely to.enter the gulag system, not less.
You think that’ll protect you?
From Stalin?
Keeping up with the congressmen is 99% a waste of time.
You’re attention is saturated with shit.
