Yep. I've blocked like 20 communities at this point
Nice to have this kind of posts here, that way I can easily identify the politically toxic users that will be blocked.
I'm going to regret this. But what makes you think that?
There are politically interested persons and there are politically toxic persons. Mainly you can spot them by their vitriol and mockery of people who voice their apolitical leanings.
The normal politically interested people will react just like a level person, asking why and then letting people have their own views in life be.
Then there's the politically toxic ones, where they will argue with those that has different political or apolitical outlook than they do even if there's nothing to argue about. Those cannot stand this kind of posts. Thus revealing themselves. And I tend to block them.
I'm not against politics, but for me, I do not endorse the activity of being aggressive to the opposite side of my views.
you're taking this situation waay too seriously. The meme is talking about fatigue not says they hate people for talking about politics
well, it seems I'm not the only one misreading the situation. since I've spotted some people who are also taking this too seriously.
I may not have the same view as the majority here, since my part of the world may give me a different experience compared to people on the West side of the globe (America/Europe)
