Politics is bad on Mastodon. It is *way, WAY* worse on Bluesky. Wowza.
@thelinuxcast It is with great trepidation that i ask “how so”
@thelinuxcast Not from what I've seen... But then again, I don't follow politics on Mastadon
@thelinuxcast Explain
@sasha92 I've just seen more politics infused in non-political searches than I do on the Fedi
@thelinuxcast Mastodon isn't a place. It's software. :^b
YOUR view of the fediverse apparently has nasty politics problems.
Unfollow people that don't make you happy, and don't ever venture into the firehose feeds of people you haven't followed, unless you're bored and not receiving enough posts and want to find people to follow.
If the politics is directed at you and you didn't bring it up, block.
@progo I don't think you read my toot correctly. Maybe glasses.
@thelinuxcast I didn't read the reply about "search" before I sent my reply. I need to work on my netiquette.
"Content is on Mastodon" irked me. mastodon.social is a service and a place. Mastodon is software, not content.
You can search? I gave up searching years ago, within the instances that I've used.
@progo try not to correct people when they use mastodon like that. It makes you look like one of those GNU/Linux people.
@thelinuxcast "I resemble that remark."
@thelinuxcast the fediverse is made up of lots of software. Try not to marginalize the software that's not Mastodon by genericizing the name Mastodon.
@progo We're on Mastodon. or I am, therefore I will call it by its name.
@thelinuxcast That's why I avoid it. I curate it as I do all social media otherwise, I get heartburn and very cranky. :D
@thelinuxcast do you plan on making a video comparing Mastodon and Bluesky? I was always curious about the latter, but never bothered to check it out
@tragicomedy probably not. Videos about social networks always flop.
@thelinuxcast Agreed, but I find all the platforms I'm currently on are rife with political bumf! They all have one thing in common, Humans! Now it is how well you can filter the bumf out. maybe that should be how we rate social media platforms.
@thelinuxcast Politics is bad anywhere. Just close your ears and eyes from politics and your life quality will grow immediadly.
@thelinuxcast Are you really surprised, knowing where Bluesky is coming from?
